Of all the Bible's personalities, David is the most profoundly human. Courageous, cunning, and complex, he lives life to the hilt. Whatever he does, he does with all his might, exuding both vitality and vulnerability. No wonder it has been said that Israel revered Moses yet loved David. But what do we now know about the historical David? Why does his story stand at the center of the Bible? Why didn't the biblical authors present him in a more favorable light? And what is the special connection between him and Caleb - the Judahite hero remembered for his valor during the wars of conquest? In this groundbreaking study, Jacob L. Wright addresses all these questions and presents a new way of reading the biblical accounts. His work compares the function of these accounts to the role war memorials play over time. The result is a rich study that treats themes of national identity, statehood, the exercise of power, and the human condition.

Binnen een periode van vier jaar heeft Vondel drie tragedies uitgegeven waarin de mannelijke hoofdpersonages gedwongen worden te kiezen tussen hoge, abstracte belangen aan de ene, en het leven van hun eigen zoon of dochter aan de andere kant. In Jeptha, of offerbelofte (1659), Koning David hersteld (1660) en Faëton, of roekeloze stoutheid (1663) komen zodoende vaders ten tonele die verscheurd worden door twijfel en die zich tot het bittere einde tussen hoop en angst heen en weer geslingerd zien. Vondel ontleedt hun gevoelens tot in detail en is er zo in geslaagd treurspelen te schrijven die de lezer tot op de dag van vandaag heftig beroeren. Het is moeilijk niet mee te leven met de oudtestamentische landvoogd Jeptha, de legendarische joodse koning David en de klassiek-mythologische zonnegod Febus / Apollo. Uiteindelijk hebben zij alledrie de dood van hun respectievelijke nakomelingen te betreuren, en dat is nog niet alles, want ze weten zich bovendien mede-schuldig aan het feit dat hun zoon of dochter niet meer leeft. Wat het voor een vader betekent zélf verantwoordelijk te zijn voor de dood van een eigen kind, en hoe het toch kan dat iemand het zover laat komen - dat zijn de vragen waarop Vondel in de drie genoemde drama's een antwoord wil geven.

Tradition has it that King Solomon knew everything there was to know-the mysteries of nature, of love, of God himself-but what do we know of him? Esteemed biblical scholar Steven Weitzman reintroduces readers to Solomon's story and its surprising influence in shaping Western culture, and he also examines what Solomon's life, wisdom, and writings have come to mean for Jews, Christians, and Muslims over the past two thousand years.Weitzman's Solomon is populated by a colorful cast of ambitious characters-Byzantine emperors, explorers, rabbis, saints, scientists, poets, archaeologists, trial judges, reggae singers, and moviemakers among them-whose common goal is to unearth the truth about Solomon's life and wisdom. Filled with the Solomonic texts of the Bible, along with lesser-known magical texts and other writings, this book challenges both religious and secular assumptions. Even as it seeks to tell the story of ancient Israel's greatest ruler, this insightful book is also a meditation on the Solomonic desire to know all of life's secrets, and on the role of this desire in world history.
