Davis brings cultural and historical colour to the task of interpretation and adds a pastor's heart for personal application. You will find a point of contact with the lives of Samuel Saul Jonathan and David as Davis answers the question 'What does God seek when he looks on the heart' Davis presents simple exposition of the literary and theological character of the text in a bright and fascinating way.
This set is a great introduction to theology, but not a readable one. It is set out like a set of Bible Study notes, and the reader has to do some work to actually fully understand the subject. That, however, is a good thing when considering what this book is about.
There are systematic theologies out there which will go into many of the issues in a similarly systematic way. However, R T Kendall's books are perhaps more practical than the systematic theologies, as they positively lend them-self to small group use.
