Eminently readable, exegetically thorough, and written in an
emotionally warm style that flows from his keen sensitivity to the
text, Barry Webb s commentary on Judges is just what is needed to
properly engage a dynamic, narrative work like the book of Judges.
It discusses not only unique features of the stories themselves but
also such issues as the violent nature of Judges, how women are
portrayed in it, and how it relates to the Christian gospel of the
New Testament.Webb concentrates throughout on what the biblical
text itself throws into prominence, giving space to background
issues only when they cast significant light on the foreground. For
those who want more, the footnotes and bibliography provide helpful
guidance. The end result is a welcome resource for interpreting one
of the most challenging books in the Old Testament.
