| Summary: | This article wrestles with the possibility of reconstructing the "historical David" as he emerges from a critical look at the account of his life (1 Sam 16-2 Kgs 2) in the Deuteronomistic history. An attempt is made at reconstructing his political attitude, policies and actions, whereafter it is contrasted with the politics of Jesus of Nazareth (who is often called David's Son in the New Testament). Vast differences between David (as a man of war) and Jesus (as "proactive pacifist") are indicated. |
