This commentary on 1 and 2 Samuel, excerpted from Fortress Commentary on the Bible: The Old Testament and Apocrypha, engages readers in the work of biblical interpretation. Hugh S. Pyper connects historical-critical analysis with sensitivity to current theological, cultural, and interpretive issues.
The book is an introduction and commentary based on three lenses: ancient context, the interpretive tradition, and contemporary questions and challenges. By introducing fresh perspectives, 1 and 2 Samuel: Fortress Commentary on the Bible draws students, preachers, and interested readers into the challenging work of interpretation.
