The exciting field of biblical archaeology has revolutionized our understanding of the Bible -- and no one has done more to popularise this vast store of knowledge than Israel Finkelstein and Neil Silberman, who revealed what we now know about when and why the Bible was first written in The Bible Unearthed. Now, with David and Solomon, they do nothing less than help us to understand the sacred kings and founding fathers of western civilization. David and his son Solomon are famous in the Bible for their warrior prowess, legendary loves, wisdom, poetry, conquests, and ambitious building programmes. Yet thanks to archaeology's astonishing finds, we now know that most of these stories are myths. Finkelstein and Silberman show us that the historical David was a bandit leader in a tiny back-water called Jerusalem, and how -- through wars, conquests and epic tragedies like the exile of the Jews in the centuries before Christ and the later Roman conquest -- David and his successor were reshaped into mighty kings and even messiahs, symbols of hope to Jews and Christians alike in times of strife and despair and models for the great kings of Europe. A landmark work of research and lucid scholarship by two brilliant luminaries, David and Solomon recasts the very genesis of western history in a whole new light.
David’s Walk with God
In 1 Samuel 13:14 and later in the book of Acts 13:22, David is called a man after God’s own heart. This intrigued me. I sought to do a study of David’s life using 1 Samuel 16 through 1 Kings 2 and “walk with David” and try to learn why King David had this title.

In a time when many are questioning or leaving the church, disillusioned by hypocrisy and the damage caused by rigid belief systems, The Mystery of Faith: Why The Gospel is Good News calls readers back to the heart of Christianity—Jesus himself. This book explores how the person and work of Christ form the foundation of Christian faith, a reminder that Christianity isn’t about moral perfection, political alignment, or institutional loyalty, but about the good news that Christ has died, Christ is risen, and Christ will come again. For those struggling with doubt, deconstruction, or frustration with the church, this book offers a fresh invitation to rediscover the beauty of the gospel. For pastors and church leaders, it serves as a guide for leading congregations back to the central truths of the faith. Through thoughtful reflection and a clear, compelling vision of the gospel, The Mystery of Faith encourages readers to see why, despite everything, Jesus is still worth believing in.
