Reviews

"Faithful to the intent of the series to which it belongs....Serious students and biblical teachers will appreciate this work.."
-The Bible Today
"Brettler's discussion is exceptionally rich, both for its treatment of Judges itself and for his interaction with earlier scholarship. Overall, Brettler provides readers of Judges with a stimulating introduction that leaves them with much to do."
-Marvin A. Sweeney, Claremont School of Theology "Interpretation, January 2003
