This is a national autobiography of the Hebrew people. David Jobling reads 1 Samuel as a story that is complete in itself, although it is part of a much larger narrative. He examines it as a historical document in a double sense: (1) as a document originating from ancient Israel and (2) as a telling of the past. Organizing the text through the three interlocking themes of class, race, and gender, Jobling asks how this historical - and canonical - story relates to a modern world in which these themes continue to be of crucial importance.

David Jobling was born on September 3, 1941. He is the son of David Jobling II.
David Jobling has brought structuralist approaches to bear on the Hebrew Bible in his six essays collected in several volumes under the series title "The Sense of Biblical Narrative". In both the earlier and later collections of essays, Jobling employed the techniques of literary analysis of V. Propp, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and A. J. Greimas to study aspects of Old Testament narratives. In the 1978 volume, subtitled "Three Structural Analyses in the Old Testament", Jobling deals with I Samuel 13-31, Numbers 11-12, and I Kings 17-18. Jobling’s innovative analytical approach has caught the attention of other biblical scholars. In addition to publishing his own essays, Jobling has edited works by other scholars, among them "Ideological Criticism of Biblical Texts", "On Storytelling: Essays in Narratology", and "The Bible and the Politics of Exegesis".
