The Book of Judges

By Marc Zvi Brettler Religion & Spirituality 02/11/2005

The Book of Judges has typically been treated either as a historical account of the conquest of Israel and the rise of the monarch, or as an ancient Israelite work of literary fiction. In this new approach, Brettler contends that Judges is essentially a political tract, which argues for the legitimacy of Davidic kingship.

Important reading for all those studying this part of the Bible.
