Preachers shy away from the book of Judges. After all, it is
smeared with blood and littered with dead bodies, making one
wonder: What relevance does this book have for modern readers?
Abraham Kuruvilla takes on the challenge of answering that question
. . . I heartily recommend this commentary.
--Robert B. Chisholm Jr., Dallas Theological Seminary
With astute observations about the text that readily lend
themselves to homiletical applications, and broad suggested
preaching outlines that closely reflect the theology of the text,
Kuruvilla's commentary will prove to be a valuable resource for the
expository teacher/preacher.
--Gregory T. K. Wong, Evangel Seminary, Hong Kong With Abraham
Kuruvilla's sensitive literary and theological reading of Judges .
. . he shows preachers how to relate its message to the world in
which we live and the alternative world Christians are called to
represent. Given his clear focus on helping preachers, this is
probably the first book anyone expounding the book of Judges for a
class or a congregation should get.
--Dan Block, Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois Based on solid
exegesis of the original text, this commentary makes the literary
form and message of the book of Judges accessible, and demonstrates
in clear fashion how to preach the different sections of the book
faithfully and effectively.
