Description

In this book, Yohannes Sahile tackles the problem of Judges' prologue, proposing that it is a single introduction with a narrative trajectory that begins with the death of Joshua.

The prologue captures how, during the period of testing, the generation after Joshua's death failed in their commission to take possession of the land allocated to them.

Instead they lived with and made a covenant with the pre-existing inhabitants of the land promised to Israel.

Judges 1:1-3:6 is often understood as a double introduction to the book, but here Dr Sahile presents a well-argued alternative.

He thoroughly dissects the passage in question, adding to ongoing scholarship of Judges and bringing new insight to our understanding of the development of the nation of Israel in the Promised Land.
