Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. The Old Testament book 1 Samuel (known as 1 Kings in modern Bibles) contains one of the most dramatic stories in the Old Testament, with its tense narrative about Israels first attempts to govern itself by kingship, and a cast of famous characters who drive the story the priest and prophet Samuel, the tragic figure of King Saul, and chiefly David himself, the youngest son of Jesse, who slays the Philistines champion, Goliath, and gains Gods favour in replacement for Saul.The Venerable Bede (672-735 AD), Anglo-Saxon Englands foremost interpreter of the Bible, wrote many commentaries on the Old Testament, but his treatment of 1 Samuel stands out in particular: it is one of his longest commentaries, one of his first sustained attempts to deal with the Old Testament without support from an earlier commentary, and one of the few commentaries he wrote that can be dated precisely. Bede sets out to read the story of 1 Samuel as full of details which demonstrate the prophetic nature of Old Testament history, an attempt that is boldly experimental in its application of the allegorical method of interpretation.Historically, the commentary is of special interest for its detailed reference to the departure of Abbot Ceolfrith from Wearmouth-Jarrow in June 716 AD, which has allowed scholarship to firmly date the work and explore some potential links to the turbulent political scene in Northumbria that marked that decade. This English translation is the first rendering of the Latin into another language. The translation is preceded by a substantial introduction that places the work in the context of Bedes oeuvre, discusses his sources and exegetical methods, and offers a reading of the works contemporary context in the light of current scholarly debate. 1 Samuel (1 Kings in modern Bibles) tells the story of Samuel and the first kings of Israel, Saul and David, slayer of Goliath. Bedes commentary on it was one of his earliest attempts to expound the Old Testament without support from an earlier commentary and is boldly experimental. This volume offers the first English translation of his commentary. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
