In *L’affaire de David et Bethsabée et la généalogie du Christ*, Maria Besançon undertakes a close biblical-theological reading of the episode involving David and Bathsheba and its connection to the genealogical lines that lead to Christ. The study treats biblical genealogies not as incidental lists, but as meaningful structures within salvation history, emphasizing how they frame divine promise, human failure, and continuity across generations. By returning to the biblical text, the book explores how the story of David, Bathsheba, and their descendants contributes to a larger interpretation of God’s action in history. The work is aimed at readers interested in Scripture, Christian theology, and the interpretive traditions surrounding the ancestors of Jesus.
