Walter Brueggemann thoughtfully examines four different David narratives from the books of 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles. Each narrative reflects a particular social context, a particular social hope, and a particular community, thus offering a distinctly different 'mode of truth' concerning David: the trustful truth of the tribe (1 Sam. 16:1 and 2 Sam 5:5), the painful truth of the man (2 Samuel 8-20 and 1 Kings 1-2), the sure truth of the state (2 Sam. 5:6-8:18), and the hopeful truth of the assembly (1 Chronicles and 2 Sam. 7:14-15).Brueggemann, Walter is the author of 'David's Truth in Israel's Imagination & Memory' with ISBN 9780800618650 and ISBN 0800618653.
