Conversations with Scripture: The Book of Judges

Sunday School curriculum or an irredeemably violent book?Throughout its history Judges has both entertained and appalledreaders-some read it as a series of simple stories about faithfulnessand some as a brutal and bloodthirsty book. Heller explores howJudges can shape our understanding of our world, our relationships,and can provide a path to a deeper appreciation of the ways ofGod among people. Far from seeing the book as either simplistic orcruel, Heller allows this odd text to speak to us anew about God, sin,relationships, and justice.
