“. . . a valuable pioneer effort to define the place of David in exegetical and literary tradition, beginning with the earliest Jewish and Christian commentaries, and concluding with the work of several modern writers . . . . What stands out amid all this variety is the sustained power of David’s character, his ability to elicit strong responses down through the centuries from writers of widely differing cultures. Indeed, as the editors remark, “David is the biblical man for all seasons.”
“Nowhere is the role of the Bible as a foundational literature in the west more clear than in the tradition of the figure of David. This book traces the tradition well, fills it out richly with examples from the old history of English literature, and adds acute, lively, and perceptive analysis to a thoughtful orchestration of some of the best vernacular literary responses to the biblical poet-king . . . a welcome addition to our understanding of biblical thought on literary tradition.”
“. . . a valuable addition to existing comparable works.”
