Overview

The Analytical Bible Expositor: Joshua to II Samuel by John G. Butler is an exceptionally well structured two-volume exegesis, organized chapter-by-chapter and verse by verse, on the books of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, and 1 & 2 Samuel. Each chapter is evaluated as a unit and is ordered and arranged in the typical analytical, alliterated, outline style of the author. Butler's commentary is expositional in style and helps one to understand both the meaning and the message of the biblical passage. The commentary combines explanation with practical application. This commentary will benefit both the preacher and teacher by providing not only a deeper understanding into the meaning of Scripture, but also a fortune of invaluable sermon and lesson outlines. In the Analytical Bible Expositor: Joshua to II Samuel, Butler combines five books that encompass the rise of the nation of Israel. The first of the five narratives, the book of Joshua, is a record of the conquest of Canaan by Israel under the leadership of Joshua. Victories and shameful defeats parallel the spiritual lives of the Israelites. With the problem of corruption came the need for judges. Butler clearly illustrates the constant failure of Israel to obey God in this time, making the book of Judges a heartbreaking story that shows the consequences of what happens when everyone does “what is right in his own eyes.” The book of Ruth, a huge contrast to the book of Judges, brings hope by focusing on the story of redemption in a non-Israelite who chooses God, rather than idols. Finally, Butler concludes his Expositor with the books of Samuel, the last and greatest judge of Israel. These books focus on the closing the period of the judges that ushered in the period of the kings. Throughout the entire Analytical Bible Expositor: Joshua to II Samuel, Butler illustrates God’s faithfulness to a nation that struggles to be faithful to him.
