Joshua, Judges and Ruth for Everyone by The Revd John Goldingay
The dramatic accounts in the books of Joshua, Judges and Ruth take us from the cusp of Israel's entering the Promised Land to the eve of the founding of its monarchy. The high adventure (Joshua), horror (Judges) and love (Ruth) in these three books illustrate the spectrum of Israel's relationship with God: faithfulness and victory; sin and redemption; and loyalty and blessing. Using personal anecdote, a witty and lively style, and drawing on his considerable theological knowledge, John Goldingay takes us deep into the unfolding story of the Old Testament. And, as he guides us in our understanding of these time-honoured words and the ancient world they describe, he helps us to apply what we read to our lives.
John Goldingay is Professor Emeritus of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary, California. His recent books include An Introduction to the Old Testament, A Reader’s Guide to the Bible, Reading Jesus’s Bible, Biblical Theology and numerous critically acclaimed commentaries on the books of the Hebrew Bible.
