The Old Testament books of Judges and Ruth record some of the most powerful stories in all of Scripture. Set in a time when everyone "did what was right in his own eyes," these books highlight God's faithfulness in the midst of Israel's continual disobedience. Exploring the stories of figures such as Gideon, Samson, and Naomi and Ruth, this accessible commentary emphasizes the countless ways God protected and preserved his people in the Bible. Experienced preacher Barry Webb explores important connections between Judges and Ruth, pointing out God's promises to his people and practical applications for daily life. Complete with powerful illustrations and engaging anecdotes, this commentary is a helpful resource for all who study, preach, and teach God's Word.
Part of the Preaching the Word series.
