Overview

Luke H. Wiseman’s Men of Faith; or, Sketches from the Book of Judges is a topical look at some of the faithful men written of in the book of Judges. Wiseman begins his study with an overview of the history contained in the Judges. After this, he selects four men as case studies for faithful living. These men—Barak, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson—all play an important role in the narrative of Judges, according to Wiseman.
