“Making Sense of the Book of Judges.”
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. My review reflects my honest opinion.
If you've read Timothy Keller before, you'll probably recognize his fingerprints all over this study guide. It's thoughtful, Christ centered, and always points you back to the biblical text.
Judges is one of those books where you find yourself thinking, "Didn't this already happen?" Well...that's kind of the point. One of my favorite features was the charts illustrating Israel's repeated cycle of rebellion, oppression, repentance, and deliverance. They made the structure of the book much easier to follow.
I also appreciated that this guide doesn't simply hand you the answers. The questions encourage observation, interpretation, and application, helping you grow in your own Bible study skills while still providing helpful guidance along the way.
Whether you're studying Judges on your own or with a small group, this is an excellent resource. I came away not only with a better understanding of the book, but with a greater appreciation for how carefully it points us back to God's faithfulness despite Israel's repeated failures.
Thanks so much for this encouraging review, Erick! We're so glad that the chart in particular proved to be useful.
