Joshua, Judges, And Ruth: Victory, Defeat, And Hope In An Age Of Heroes

The books of Joshua, Judges, and Ruth form a unit that bridges the span from Moses to the Kings of Israel. In a very real sense, these books pave the way for the coming of the king as they present the story of the victorious conquest of the land under Joshua and then the subsequent failures of the people in the land under the days of the Judges. The section closes with a love story; a story of hope and of anticipation in the coming king. This commentary series is replete with maps and charts designed to aid the reader in understanding the nuances of these books.
