Judges
A 12-Week Study
by Miles V. Van Pelt
Part of the Knowing the Bible series
The book of Judges describes a time in the life of the nation of Israel between the prophetic leadership of Moses and Joshua and the establishment of the monarchy. During that time, "everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (Judges 17:6).
The most shocking feature in the book of Judges, however, is not the horror of Israel's sin, but the glory of salvation from that sin. The darkness of Israel's sin is overcome only by the wonder of God's salvation worked through a series of memorable judges, who ultimately point us to Jesus Christ.
