读圣经的过程，不是单单看内容，也是一个个人内心审查的时间，这个是看圣经的一个很重要的态度。
“全部圣经都是神所默示的，在教训、责备、矫正和公义的训练各方面，都是有益的，为要使属神的人装备好，可以完成各样的善工。”（提摩太后书 3：16-17）其实BBC在制作内容深度上是不错的，比如从现代医学角度探讨巨人歌利亚身体的弱点、用现代测速器来模拟测试大卫用的投石器（sling）的杀伤力、从考古遗址推论大卫攻取耶路撒冷所用的地下水道等。
但传媒都是想提高收视率的商业机构，往往是利用不同的方法来个一鸣惊人。但如果用歪理来惊人，就大有问题了。
BBC这次找来一位英国Rhodes College的宗教系教授Steven McKenzie来解说大卫成为以色列王的过程，但听这位教授的解说，他正是在推翻“全部圣经都是神所默示的”，而是“圣经都是Spin doctor所默示的”。（附注：Spin doctor首次出现在1984年10月号《纽约时报》的一篇文章里，表示“善于对负面消息进行积极解释的宣传者和策划人”。）
这位教授有不少的基督教著作，其中有一部 King David: A Biography，就是大卫王传，美国杂志Publishers Weekly有关这本书的评论，利末达人在这转载其中部分：The conventional, laudatory image of David as a simple shepherd boy who courageously slew Goliath and rose to become Israel's greatest king despite some human failings is disputed by McKenzie, an associate professor of Hebrew Bible at Rhodes College in Memphis. His biography emphasizes the negative aspects of David's character and minimizes his achievements. McKenzie begins by identifying the sparse contributions of archeology to the story of David and then describes the sections of the Bible that deal with the enigmatic shepherd-king. McKenzie's suggestion that it would be helpful to have a copy of the Bible at hand while reading his book should be strongly emphasized. Fortunately, readers can turn to Robert Alter's 1999 volume, The David Story, for a translation and insightful commentary on 1 and 2 Samuel and the first two chapters of 1 Kings, in which David's life is recounted. Alter's sober presentation balances McKenzie's strident depiction of David as a "Middle Eastern tyrant" who was "senile and flaccid" in his dying days. Early in his life, according to McKenzie, David was a "ruthless... mercenary" who tried to "usurp" King Saul's throne. McKenzie claims that his portrait of David as a brazen adulterer, power-hungry politician, grim assassin and wanton murderer is "a realistic likeness."
美国杂志Publishers Weekly认为McKenzie教授只强调大卫负面的性格但低估了大卫的成就，还推荐读者多看另一位作家Robert Alter的The David Story: A Translation with Commentary of 1 and 2 Samuel ，来平衡McKenzie对大卫苛刻的描述。
如果知识不能使属神的人装备好，可以完成各样的善工，就如“你见过自以为有智慧的人吗？愚昧人比他更有指望。”（箴言 26：12）
