David and Moses are two very important people in our history and both play a huge role in the shaping of mankind. Moses‚ meaning “drawn from water” and David‚ meaning “Beloved” were both similar in many ways‚ but also different in the ways they came to be. Many people have heard of these two men in the Bible and when thought of‚ they think of them as men of strong faith. Are they more similar or different? And why would they be more similar or different? What would be the causes for them to be so

My third choice is the scene from the Old Testament created by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. This life sized marble sculpture "David" (1623-24) is the best depiction of that dramatic moment when David loads his sling with a stone to assault Goliath and kill him. Even though it is not currently located at the MET it is an extravagant subject. Goliath is a giant Philistine warrior who inflicted havoc on the children of Israel. David‚ a boy‚ accepts a challenge to fight

When I first began comparing the two different statues of David‚ Bernini’s Baroque "David‚ and "Michelangelo’s Renaissance "David" the first thing that came to my attention was the facial features. As you study the face of Michelangelo’s "David" there is a sense of calmness to it. There is little or no emotion depicted in his face whatsoever. Here is a man‚ ready to face a giant with nothing more than a sling‚ a stone‚ and his faith in God‚ yet there is no emotion on his face. No signs of fear‚ anger

covered by the early years of King David as described in 1 Samuel chapter 16 to 2 Samuel chapter 5‚ and 1 Chronicles chapter 11. This was the beginning of a turbulent Kingship for a dichotomous Israel‚ at a time of continual external agitation from their enemies. It was a time in which the type of leadership would determine the success or failure of the fledgling nation of Israel.

(1 Samuel 24) Many people in David’s situation would have ‘found’ many excuses to justify killing Saul. Think of what one might have said: “It was self-defense‚ because Saul was out to kill me.” “It’s all right‚ because God promised me the throne anyway.” “This is a God-given opportunity and I should take

Also‚ to consider if it happened. Hume continues and says “If the falsehood of his testimony would be more miraculous than the event which he relates‚ then‚ and not until then‚ can he pretend to command my belief or opinion. A reasonable person should not believe in miracles based exclusively on a few testimonies. Hume argues that evidence for what occurs repeatedly always outweighs evidence for that which rarely or never occurs. Since miracles are a
