Excellent read with great insights. He elucidates the Book of Judges showing, as I see it, two main thrusts of the book:
(1) Israel's descent into from a people chosen by God to inherit the land, to a people who take possession of the land in a way that outside and in opposition to God's
(2) The author relates Israel's descent as a model of the dangers imposed upon the Christian community by her assimilation to the surrounding society.
This book offers brief background settings of each story in Judges so as to, perhaps, catch a glimpse of the thought and/or intentions of the characters involved.
The "perspectives" section takes the long-ago scenes of Judges and transfers them into our contemporary Church surrounded by political power of its ruling society and its ungodly cultural influences, enhancing our understanding of those present dangers of assimilation and what exactly those dangers entail.
A short book (only 182 pages) but packed insights that will provide a foundation to discern our place as a people of God and how we are divinely called to "possess the Land."
