¬†The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible encourages readers to explore how the vital roots of the ancient Christian tradition should inform and shape faithfulness today.¬†In this addition series, Bishop Robert Barron offers a theological exegesis of 2 Samuel. He highlights three major themes: God's non-competitive transcendence, the play between divine and non-divine causality, and the role of Old Testament kingship. As with other volumes in the series, this book is ideal for those called to ministry, serving as a rich resource for preachers, teachers, students, and study groups.

"In this book, Fr. Barron brings his theological erudition to the task of interpreting sacred scripture.¬†The result will be a delight for all his readers.¬†Not only will they relish the many profundities of the text, but they will be able to join the author in wrestling with its various conundrums.¬†Even the challenging parts of David's life are handled in fresh, creative, and--most important--productive ways."

"Fr. Robert Barron is one of the clearest and most compelling Christian communicators I know. He is a scholar, yet he relates easily to all the faithful. As a preacher he reaches both mind and heart. Now, in this major biblical commentary, he has given us a book that measures up to the standard already established by this excellent series. The story of 2 Samuel 'lives and breathes' in Barron's words."
