What is The First Book of Samuel (Cambridge Bible Commentaries on the Old Testament) about?

Ackroyd's introduction summarizes the place of the 1st Book of Samuel in the Hebrew canon, its relationship with history & its theological purpose. The main divisions of the text are those provided by the New English Bible, but the text is further subdivided for the purposes of commentary which draws out the kind of significance indicated in the introduction. Short passages of text & the editor's commentary are interspersed so readers don't have to refer to another part of the book to find the commentary. A final brief section asks what is the theological message today of this account of the beginnings of the line of David, of Samuel's role as judge & of Saul's as king.
