David In The Holy Bible

According to the Holy Bible, David was the greatest king of ancient Israel, the period of his rule is the golden age of Israeli history and Israel gained great achievement in the field of politics and military affairs. Meanwhile, David seemed sincere, just and merciful and therefore contained the significance of theology and ethics. More important, the character of David was complicated and varied and therefore had the better value of literature.This paper, consisting of five parts, is a special study of David. The preface demonstrates the feasibility of studying David respectively in the historical, theological and literary way firstly, then introduces the present studies both home and abroad, summarizes the originality of this paper in the end.The first chapter 'David as a historical figure' discusses David's achievement in the field of military affairs and politics and his strategy firstly, then evaluates his achievement, points out the relationship between his achievement and his talent in the end.The second chapter 'David as a theological figure' discusses both the theological ideas reflected in David's experiences and his influence on theology, meanwhile, points out that the historical importance of David is the basis of his theological importance, that there is a sophisticated interact relationship between politics and religion, that God actually is the symbol of the will of Israel as a whole.The third chapter 'David as a literary image' discusses the aesthetic significance David's character firstly, then summarizes the methods of creating his image, points out that David is a 'round character', that the methods of creating his image can be regarded as the common methods of creating images of 'Hebrew narrative', that literature doesn't only mean the types and methods of literature or the significance of literature will be very poor in the end.The conclusion roughly reveals my points of view on the three basic culture features of the Holy Bible.
