Contents:

Calvin and Beza set the stage -- The Dutch David: William of Orange in Davidic dress -- Andrew Willet and the Jacobean David -- Samuel Rutherford and the Scottish David -- The David story: gap-filling and reading strategies.

Scope and content: Representations of David in Reformation art and literature often characterize him as a figure of piety, an iconic king and model civil servant. Using the exemplary David as a starting point and test case, DeLapp observes how both socio-historical and textual factors play a part in how a person reads biblical text.

Representations of David in Reformation art and literature often characterize him as a figure of piety, an iconic king and model civil servant. Using the exemplary David as a starting point and test case, DeLapp observes how both socio-historical and textual factors play a part in how a person reads biblical text.
