The book of Judges contains some of the most famous of the Bible's stories, as well as some of the least known. In them we find much that is attractive but perhaps more that is repulsive. They show us the deepest sin of humanity, but we see that sin in the light of God's abundant grace. Behind judges of Israel like Samson, Jephthah and Barak stands a Judge, discerning and deciding.

Useful and level-headed
21 April 2000
By Joseph W. Smith III
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I just finished teaching a two-year adult Sunday-school study of Judges, and I found this commentary extremely useful. Wilcock is able to think creatively about these age-old stories, and often brings a provocative, New Testament sensibility to his applications. He also has a clear, lucid and penetrating style that makes this book quite approachable, and not overly cerebral. Recommended.

Wisdom and Insight Abounding
3 Jun 2000
By C. C. Newton
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Thanks, Joe Smith. I purchased this book on your recommendation above and have found it very helpful. The stories in Judges read like adventure stories. They are fun but you are tempted to consider them just a break from the serious work of the Lord's word. Wilcock is really helping me understand the spiritual meaning behind the stories - to see how they truly are examples of how God works our deliverance for all times and places. How God is faithful to His promises but you can't pin Him down as to how is is going to deliver. If you are interested in exploring Judges - a comparitively little-read work of the Old Testament, I also highly recommend this commentary.

Sage and spiritual
30 Mar 2000
By Joseph W. Smith III
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've just finished teaching a two-year adult Sunday school class in Judges, and Wilcock's book was extremely helpful. He takes a long-range spiritual view, often with a New Testament perspective, of this intricate and tricky Old Testament masterpiece. There were many times when I simply read aloud to my adult students lengthy paragraphs from Wilcock's book. Very level-headed, reverent, and insightful. Highly recommended for those who believe God's Word and wish to study it "with all their heart, soul, strength, and mind."
