The book carries the reader through the Biblical record of the almost 350 years from Joshua’s death to the death of Samuel – the last of Israel’s God-appointed judges. The Book of Judges is complex, having four parts: Prologue, Introduction, History Section and Epilogue. Each of these has distinctive and sometimes bizarre features. While all the better-known stories are discussed – like those about Deborah and Barak, and Gideon – this book includes work the author has not found elsewhere. Here are some topics Bible students should find particularly helpful:
The unique, and easily-overlooked structure of the Judges Prologue;
the special challenge of Jephthah and his daughter;
the unusual record of Samson;
the disturbing stories in the Epilogue, and more.
There is also a seven-chapter, detailed treatment of the chronology of Judges, including a two-page summary table of the period connecting Moses through Samuel and Saul, to King David. At the back of the book there are thirteen appendices addressing a variety of matters relating to the main text, as well as a multi-page index of  Bible citations and allusions in the book.
