Judges

Judges is a book full of characters such as Samson, Gideon and Deborah, but the key person in this book is the Yahweh who offers great salvation to the Israelite people and shows grace even when they choose to turn away from him. Dale Ralph Davis shows the clear, Messiah-centered story line of Judges through this ?theocentric? exposition.
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 analysing the major literary and theological themes discovered in each section, providing a ‘theocentric’ exposition.
