Kingsley reads King David as an all but ideal ruler trained by an all but ideal education: shepherd, captain of outlaws, then a king fighting his way to a secure throne. Five sermons follow in turn his weakness, his strength, his righteous anger, his deserts, and the friendship of David and Jonathan.
Vigorous Victorian preaching from the author of Westward Ho! and The Water-Babies, admirable for its moral directness. Download the free EPUB.
