Bathsheba

by Roberta Kells Dorr

It was an incredible story that changed history: King David commits adultery and murder for the beautiful woman Bathsheba, who becomes the mother of Solomon, forefather of Jesus. With carefully researched, authentic details, Roberta Dorr offers new insights into this story of sin, repentance, and forgiveness. An engrossing story of God's wonderful capacity to forgive.

Reviews

[Linda · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very little in this work actually focuses on what would have been Bathsheeba's story, maybe a third.
Most of it is based on the experiences of her seducer/husband David and is based on his story in the Bible.
