Great Commentary
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
In-depth. Analysis of original languages. Structural outlines. Practical Applications. Scholarly and pastoral emphases. Footnotes if you wanna be detailed, but it doesn't bog down the main text. This and Ralph Davis are my two go-to commentaries for Judges right now. Matt Giesman
Commenting Judges
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
There we can find some good ideas for application, but very dissapointing are sections for contemporary significance. Many of them are so short and it seems they are unfinished. I give four stars for book, but three for contemporary significance.

From the evangelical OT scholar K.L.Younger, who edited the celebrated three volumes 'Context of Scripture' (a mine of archaeological evidence relevant for comparative studies), comes a very readable and illuminating volume on Judges and Ruth. Consulting this book regularly in preparing sermons you will feel that the people who 'screwed up' the times between the conquest of Israel and the monarchy are not unlike you. Lawson providing just the background issues you need, like information on warfare, meanings of odd phrases, old near eastern habits and the like. Thus he is able to go past these issues and past the very stories themselves so to make Judges and Ruth lively messages, dealing with timeless feelings of honour and distress little different from us and our private war campaigns. Whenever I'm working on Judges Lawson is around.
