The Character of David in Judaism, Christianity and Islam: Warrior, Poet, Prophet and King de Marzena Zawanowska

The Character of David in Judaism, Christianity and Islam: Warrior, Poet, Prophet and King: Themes in Biblical Narrative, cartea 29

Marzena Zawanowska, Mateusz Wilk
en Limba Engleză Hardback – dec 2021
King David if one of the most central figures in all of the major monotheistic traditions. He generally connotes the heroic past of the (more imagined than real) ancient Israelite empire and is associated with messianic hopes for the future. Nevertheless, his richly ambivalent and fascinating literary portrayal in the Hebrew Bible is one of the most complex of all biblical characters.
This volume aims at taking a new, critical look at the process of biblical creation and subsequent exegetical transformation of the character of David and his attributed literary composition (the Psalms), with particular emphasis put on the multilateral fertilization and cross-cultural interchanges among Jews, Christians and Muslims.
