Judges by J. C. McCann

Reviewed by Vernon J. Steiner on 05/23/2012

A readable treatment of what has become a difficult book.  Helpful introduction on the reasons Judges has been less than favored in the church.  McCann demonstrates the relevance of modern society to the shortcomings of people----God's people and other people---in Judges.  Treats obligatory historical issues relative to the development of the book, but the lion's share of attention is attributed to thematic progressions as these are situated within a canonical context.  Pastors and serious students will appreciate the engagement with this scholar.
