In the Hebrew Bible and stories loyal to it, Goliath is the stereotypical giant of folklore: big, brash, violent, and dimwitted. Goliath as Gentle Giant sets out to rehabilitate the giant’s image by exploring the origins of the biblical behemoth, the limitations of the “underdog” metaphor, and the few sympathetic treatments of Goliath in popular media. What insights emerge when we imagine things from Goliath’s point of view? How might this affect our reading of the biblical account or its many retellings and interpretations? What sort of man was Goliath really? The nuanced portraits analyzed in this book serve as a catalyst to challenge readers to question stereotypes, reexamine old assumptions, and humanize the “other.”

First Kings, the eighteenth chapter, the prophet Elijah terminates 450 of Jezebel's prophets, and when she gets the message of what happened, she immediately sent word to Elijah that within twenty-four hours, he will suffer the same fate. She sent a serious message to the prophet in the light of one of his greatest victories for God. The problem was, he paid more attention to the threat than his purpose. What is hindering your progress in Christ or paralyzing your forward motion in life? Could it be like Elijah you are giving too much attention to your critics and allowing them to rob you of your God-ordained destiny? Stop running from Jezebel. David, at this time, is an insignificant shepherd boy who is sent to the battlefield by his father to feed the soldiers of Israel, which included his jealous brothers. Upon his arrival, he hears the ranting of Goliath and finds the soldiers hiding in fear. David refused to hide from the problem but confronted it head-on, and the rest is biblical history. Confronting the Goliaths in your life is the only way they are going to be removed. When mountains get in your way, the Bible tells us to "speak" to them, but when Goliath (life's challenges) is standing between you and your destiny, you must confront it.
