Modern readers and expositors often have difficulty handling Judges, finding it too earthy, puzzling, primitive, and violent. Dale Ralph Davis brings out the true stature of Judges in this commentary, taking a 'theocentric' approach that elucidates the key themes in each section. 240 pages.
The Church has a problem with Judges, it is so earthy, puzzling, primitive and violent - so much so that the Church can barely stomach it. It falls under the category 'embarrassing scripture'. Such an attitude is, of course, wrong so Ralph Davis here makes Judges digestible by analyzing the major literary and theological themes discovered in each section, providing a 'theocentric' exposition.
