Product Overview
King David stands as one of the most important figures of world history. From childrens storybooks to Michelangelos famous statue, ancient Israels most famous king is still remembered and recognized by people around the world three thousand years after he lived.
In this commentary on the book of 2 Samuel, professor and former pastor John Woodhouse helps readers deepen their understanding of Davids tumultuous reign by highlighting his place in salvation historya history that began with Israel but now encompasses Gods plan for the whole world. Whats more, he shows that the concept of the kingdom of God is crucial to the whole storyline of the Bible . . . and for our lives today.
Designed as a trustworthy resource for pastors who preach and teach on a regular basis, this commentary makes the case that Davids story is relevantbecause it lays the crucial foundation for the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, the Son of David.
Neither Peter nor Jude minced words about the realities that would confront every Christian and that were confronting the church at large-suffering and persecution, contradictory views of the gospel, constant challenges to the faith at the hands of false teachers. Yet even in the face of these harsh realities, both biblical writers unswervingly declared that there is no cause for despair as long as one's foundation and identity are in Christ.
With the truths of 1-2 Peter and Jude echoing across the ages, commentator David Helm beckons us to listen in his stirring exposition. Yet it is not enough to listen, he says. Peter's and Jude's words must compel us to do just what the early Christians did: hold fast to their identity in Christ, ground themselves in the truth, live lives worthy of their calling, and vigorously contend for the faith.
