The Church has a problem with Judges; it is so earthy,
puzzling, primitive and violent so much so that the Church can barely stomach it. Removing it from its category of embarrassing scripture, trusted Bible teacher Dale Ralph Davis makes Judges digestible.
Providing a theocentric exposition, this sharp and succinct commentary analyses the major literary and theological themes discovered in each section.

Dr. Davis has a great sense of fun. He must often have his class or his congregation in stitches!

One of the reasons I enjoy Davis's exposition so much is that I feel confident that he has done his exegetical homework, and so is not just delivering blessed, unhistorical thoughts on the text. Yet at the same time, he applies the text so well.

The most practical expository work that this reviewer has ever encountered.
Southwestern Journal of Theology
The trouble with this commentary is that after reading the passage I'm preparing I often find myself reading the next few chapters. This is exposition of the highest standard which is presented in a racy (in a good sense) and contemporary style.
Pastor Keith Plant
This was a very edifying and enjoyable Bible commentary through the book of Judges. The commentary divides Judges into three parts with a total of twenty one chapters. I think anyone who is studying the book of Judge will find this commentary as an indispensable resource. The great thing about the way the author writes is that it is accessible for preachers as well as the person in the pew.

an excellent… crisp, lively… exposition on Judges.
Bibliotecha Sacra
There is here much practical biblical instruction for the believer and the church. This is an excellent presentation.
