Deserting the King: The Book of Judges - Transformative Word Series by David Beldman and published by Lexham Press.
Readers of the book of Judges encounter a host of puzzles to be solved—everything from the book's purpose and place in the biblical narrative to the precise nature of the historical figures involved. In the midst of so many questions to be answered, how can we allow the book to change our view of the God of both the Old and New Testament?
In Deserting the King, a volume from the Transformative Word series, David Beldman guides readers through the book of Judges, tracing the acceptance and rejection, the tragedy and heroism of Israel's relationship with God and the Israelite monarchy. Along the way, he shows readers how this book—though full of bloodshed, intrigue, and conflict—can help us see God at work in our world.
