"II Samuel" completes P. Kyle McCarter, Jr.'s study of the book of "Samuel". Based upon the introduction and commentary of his first volume, McCarter continues the discussion of textual and literary sources as they relate to a reconstruction of historical events.A key issue for McCarter is accounting for the historical circumstances that led to the composition of the book of "Samuel". In dialogue with major schools of thought pertaining to the origin and transmission of the book, the author offers his scholarly opinions on its composition. McCarter presents a unique new translation based upon the latest and most extensive textual sources available, including scrolls and fragments from Qumran. Furthermore, he resolves the complicated textual history of "Samuel".
