Opis

The author of Walking the Walk now tells the second half of the story of David, from the moment he becomes king of all Israel to his death. Wilcox offers his readers an inspiring and timely exposition, combining as it does a subtle literary story with a robust theological analysis. More than just a bible commentary, Talking the Talk is also a populist reading aimed at a theologically untrained audience, approaching the narrative as a drama, consisting of acts and episodes divided into scenes. Addressed primarily to the contemporary western church, the book focuses attention on Davids capacity for repentance. Talking the Talk argues that after his accession, David is corrupted by power, but his capacity for contrition still defined him as a man of God's own heart. Talking the Talk shows why it may be important to achieve a level of integration between public and private roles. More than just a bible commentary, Talking the Talk is aimed at a theologically untrained audience, approaching the narrative as a drama, consisting of acts and episodes divided into scenes.
