Judges is the “Wild West” of the Old Testament, filled with stories of violence, deceit, betrayal, abuse, and vigilante justice. How can we possibly be edified by this book? How can we read it well?
Murder, hatred, idolatry, greed, cowardice, exploitation, abuse of women and children: the dark side of human life is one which we would rather avoid, but in the book of Judges it is on full display in the attitudes and behavior of God’s own people. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why many modern Christians neglect Judges, because it is filled with so much tragedy.
But Judges isn’t just a tragic depiction of the faithlessness of God’s people. It is at the same time a startling account of the patience and faithfulness of a God who refuses to abandon His people, even when they are at their very worst. In this study, we will focus our attention on the faithfulness of God by studying the stories of the redeemers that He uses to bring deliverance to His people.
