(Judges 12:8-15) ; Samson the Savior is born (Judges 13) ; Secrets (Judges 14) ; The battle of Jawbone Hill and other stories (Judges 15) ; Let's play "the Philistines are here!" ( Judges 16) -- Part 3. The confusion of a depraved people ( Judges 17-21) ; Divine sarcasm ( Judges 17-18) ; New Sodom (Judges 19-21).
Summary: The Church has a problem with Judges, it is so earthy, puzzling, primitive and violent - so much so that the Church can barely stomach it. It falls under the category 'embarrassing scripture'. Such an attitude is, of course, wrong so Ralph Davis here makes Judges digestible by analysing the major literary and theological themes discovered in each section, providing a 'theocentric' exposition.
