The Book of David

The Book of David does not replace Scriptureit explores it. After three millennia, King David is still revered and celebrated among the people of Israel. For Christians, it should be noted that David is the first person to be named in the New Testament after Jesus. He is also the last person to be named outside of Jesus. Those two facts are indications that his undying legacy should be preserved and contemplated. That is what The Book of David urges us to doponder the impact of this shepherd boy become military genius and king. We still sing his songs and quote his lyrics. People who have never cracked open a Bible can tell you the story of David and Goliath. Some can relate a version of David and Bathsheba. Still, there is far more to this man than those two accounts reveal. In an era when many of our bygone heroes are being excoriated for their past sins, King David is a prime candidate for cancellation. Fortunately, the Bible is the Bible. David's story, even with his obvious flaws, still stands as the account of an imperfect man whose heart unquestionably belonged to his Lord.
