Description
The author brings fresh perspective and new insights to 1 and 2 Samuel with this study of the characters, lives, and situations of Samuel, Saul, Jonathan, David, and Absalom, as told as part of the larger picture of the biblical narrative. With lively writing and gentle humor, Men Behaving Badly illuminates the timeless foibles and phobias of the human condition. Goldingay focuses on the way the stories talk about the pressures that come on a series of men, their motives and emotions, the mistakes and achievements that characterize their lives, and the way God relates to all of these.
