Brueggemann, Walter.

David's truth in Israel's imagination & memory / Walter Brueggemann. - Philadelphia : Fortress Press, �1985. - 128 pages ; 22 cm



Introduction: truth in its strangeness -- The trustful truth of the tribe -- The painful truth of the man -- The sure truth of the state -- The hopeful truth of the assembly -- Conclusion: truth free, in jeopardy.
