The Book of Judges (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from The Book of Judges The Book of Judges gives the history of the people of God from the time that they had been settled by Joshua in the land of Canaan until the increasing disorders in the Hebrew commonwealth called for changes in the constitution, whose introduction is narrated in the Books of Samuel. The recent critical speculations which at present excite controversy are less intimately or directly concerned with this book than with most others; though the study of it must exert an influence on one's mind, and, as I think, must contribute to their decision. The materials are scanty indeed out of which to construct a reply to the questions, At what time was the book written? And, Who was its author? The mention of 'the captivity of the land, ' ch. Xviii. 30, is held by some to prove that it was not composed before the Babylonian exile, or at all events before the fall of the kingdom of the Ten Tribes my own opinion is that this refers to the catastrophe in the time Of Eli, 1 Sam. Iv. 21, 22, the date being the same in the two verses, 30 and 31, viz., the end of the time that the house of God was in Shiloh. Apart from this, there is nothing said which hints at any time later than the rise of the kingdom; yet there is emphasis put on the fact of there being no king in Israel at the time that certain disorders appeared, ch. Xvii. 6, xviii. I, xix. I, xxi. 2 5 - 21 circumstance which might indicate that the hopeful feelings associated with the great revolution which introduced the kingdom were shared by the writer.

Excerpt from The Conquest of Canaan: Lectures on the First Twelve Chapters of the Book of Joshua These lectures on the first half of the Book of Joshua, delivered in the ordinary course of my ministry, have, I believe, been of some help in opening up this very interesting portion of the Old Testament Scriptures to those who have heard them, and they are now published in the hope that they may be of some.
