Judges
Author – Unknown
Time – 1420 – 1140 B.C.
Summary – The
book of Judges, which means "Champions" or "Rescuers", covers the period from
the death of Joshua to the birth of Samuel. This was a time of great immorality
as the result of the failure of the Israelites to drive out the inhabitants
of the land. There were "judges" set up by God who were to direct and judge
the affairs and people of Israel. The book of Judges closes by setting the stage
for the people’s desire for a human king.
