A thorough re-examination of the First Book of Samuel and its
treatment of Saul, showing that Saul's central role in the
development of the kingdom of Israel has been misunderstood by
generations of scholars. Spurred on by a childhood fascination with
the Tanakh, which brought to his attention the discrepancy between
the English rendering of Samuel 21:19 and the original Hebrew,
Green builds upon recent research to show that later authors
revised 1 Samuel with the specific intention of defaming Saul. In
the process, these revisionist authors glorified the character of
David, significantly distorting the true nature of events. Green
systematically works through the Biblical text, highlighting its
illogical chronology, and drawing attention to apocryphal
incidents, before reconstructing a more plausible sequence for the
story. Both a fresh analysis of a maligned figure and a
comprehensive guide to the First Book of Samuel, Green's
interpretation returns Saul to his rightful place as the first
"Lord's Anointed," true King and one genuine messiah of all Israel.
Following his degree in fine art at St. Martin's School of Art,
Adam Green enjoyed a regular run of exhibitions both abroad and in
the U.K. before embarking on a successful career in commercial
illustration. In addition to being featured in the Jewish Chronicle
he has contributed articles to The Jews' College Magazine. During
the last ten years, when not researching for King Saul, Green has
continued to paint, illustrate and make wine in his home in
southern Spain.
