Overview
Originally published as part of the Bible for Home and School, Edward Lewis’ The Book of Judges exposition on Judges is a learned and solid exegesis on the text of Judges. Lewis divides Judges into three sections: an Introduction, the Main History of Judges, and a Conclusion. Further, Lewis argues that instead of an accurate historical of events that took place, Judges is to be understood as legends informed by historical events.
