(Charles) David: Five Sermons David's weakness -- David's strength -- David's anger -- David's deserts -- Friendship; or, David and Jonathan. Transcribed by David Price "David: Five Sermons" by Charles Kingsley is a collection of religious discourses that explores the character and significance of David, the biblical king of Israel. Written in the Victorian era, this book delves into themes of morality, faith, and human nature while emphasizing the moral lessons derived from David's life. It likely aims to investigate the qualities that made David a revered figure, celebrating his virtues while also acknowledging his flaws. In this collection, Kingsley presents David not only as a mighty warrior and king but also as a complex man shaped by his experiences and relationships—particularly his friendship with Jonathan. Each sermon highlights different facets of David's character, from his courage and strength to his failings and deep faith in God. Kingsley articulates the idea that David’s profound sense of weakness led him to rely on divine strength, thus illuminating the importance of humility and moral integrity. The sermons also address the complexities of human relationships, the nature of true friendship, and the consequences of actions motivated by self-indulgence. Through Kingsley's eloquent prose, readers are invited to reflect on the timeless truths of personal character and the depth of divine grace illustrated through the life of David.
