The Life of David

About this book

Alexander MacLaren's studies trace David from the shepherd fields of Bethlehem to the throne of Israel and through the sorrows of his later reign. Drawing on the biblical narrative, MacLaren presents David as poet, warrior, sinner, penitent, and king, with a preacher's eye for character and conscience. The result is biography shaped for meditation as much as for information.
