Overview
For each section of the Bible, the Focus on the Bible Commentaries summarize the passage of Scripture, including the intentions of the authors, the historical and cultural environment, and the questions and issues raised by a particular passage. But most importantly, the Focus on the Bible Commentaries brings you into the heart of the Bible, by explaining Scripture in an accessible way that makes sense for daily Christian living.
Davis brings cultural and historical color 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 a simple exposition of the literary and theological character of the text in a bright and fascinating way.

Really quite difficult to overstate how helpful this particular commentary is. It certainly isn't a technical commentary - but far from glossing over difficult/complex sections, it grapples with them in a sensitive manner. The technical work has clearly been done and the benefits of it are very obvious, even if the author doesn't lay it all out in detail. It is a pastoral commentary. Davis is exceptionally gifted at drawing out the key thread in each chapter and handling it in a concise and clear manner. His writing is brilliantly vivid. He is consistently Christ focused - no commentary I have read on 1 Samuel (and I have read quite a few) - comes close to stirring the heart to worship like this one. A real gem.Jonathan Back
