King Saul is based on the Biblical story of the first king of Israel. It retells the story in a fresh way, offering new looks at the three major characters–Saul, Samuel, and David–and the events that brought them together at the very foundation of the nation of Israel three millennia ago. Holbert’s retelling reveals how this old story is surprisingly modern as it turns its gaze on power politics, personal rivalries, and religious use and abuse as the life of early Israel unfolds.
