He must often have his class or his congregation in stitches!" (Christian Arena)"The most practical expository work that this reviewer has ever encountered." (Southwestern Journal of Theology)"an excellent crisp, lively exposition on Judges." (Bibliotheca Sacra) . Yet at the same time, he applies the text so well.

I think anyone who is studying the book of Judge will find this commentary as an indispensable resource. The g
The Church has a problem with Judges, it is so earthy, puzzling, primitive and violent - so much so that the Church can barely stomach it. It falls under the category 'embarrassing scripture'. Such an attitude is, of course, wrong so Ralph Davis here makes Judges digestible by analysing the major literary and theological themes discovered in each section, providing a 'theocentric' exposition.
