Goliath as Gentle Giant explores the origins of the biblical behemoth, the limitations of the "underdog" metaphor, and the few sympathetic treatments of Goliath in popular media to rehabilite the giants image. It challenges readers to question stereotypes, reexamine old assumptions, and humanize the "other."

Publisher: Lexington Books
In the Hebrew Bible and tales that are faithful to it, Goliath is the archetypal giant of folklore: enormous, brash, violent, and foolish. Goliath as the Gentle Giant sets out on a mission to rehabilitate the giants reputation by examining the origins of the biblical behemoth, the limitations of the underdog metaphor, and the few sympathetic portrayals of Goliath in popular media. What insights arise when we imagine things from Goliaths perspective? How might this impact our reading of the biblical account or its many retellings and interpretations? What kind of man was Goliath, truly? The nuanced portraits analyzed in this book serve as a catalyst to encourage readers to question stereotypes, reexamine old assumptions, and humanize the "other."
