Throughout its history, Judges has both entertained and appalled readers—some read it as a series of simple stories about faithfulness, while others red it as a brutal and bloodthirsty chronicle. Roy L. Heller explores how Judges can shape our understanding of the world and our relationships and can provide a path to a deeper appreciation of the ways of God among people. Far from seeing the book as either simplistic or cruel, Heller allows this odd text to speak to us anew about God, sin, relationships, and justice.
