The Book of 2 Samuel begins with David being made King of Judah and then walks through his reign—including his defeat of the Philistines, his sins of adultery and murder, and the threats against his life. We are given a Christological type that foreshadows the life, ministry, and eternal reign of the crucified and risen Jesus, the lowly shepherd from Bethlehem who was anointed to be king of Israel.
As in his work on 1 Samuel, we find meticulous interaction with the Hebrew text, skillful exegesis, and mature theological insights, all undergirded by the belief that inspired Scripture is authoritative for faith, life, and practice. As this volume makes clear, Dr. Steinmann has carefully done that work and presents the results here in a clear and accessible way.
Unlike many other scholars and commentators, however, Dr. Steinmann is also up front about his faith commitments as a Lutheran Christian and unapologetic about mining 2 Samuel for its theological insights and its connections with the wider biblical narrative of both Testaments. Scholars will appreciate his translation of the text, detailed textual notes, and a truly august bibliography. Flanagan, "Court History or Succession Document?
