Summary
The Book of Judges narrates one of the most chaotic and morally dark eras of Israel's story. Many speak of it as Israel's “Wild West,” where the heroes and the villains stand only inches apart. Into this morally ambiguous time comes one of the most unlikely leaders of the biblical text—the prophet Deborah. She is a wife and mother in an entirely patriarchal world, yet due to her integrity and courage she transforms chaos into order and leads Israel in one of the most pivotal victories of the settlement period.
Illustrating the era of the Judges by means of the archaeological record, historical geography, and the hard facts of warfare in the ancient world, this study draws students immediately into the grand tale of Deborah and Barak, Jabin and Sisera, and of course the most unlikely of leaders, Jael. This study compels the modern listener to ask and answer three critical questions:
- What territory can you see from where you're standing that you know belongs to the Kingdom, but is not yet won?
- Is it worth fighting for?
- Are you willing to step out on faith and trust God for the victory?
A bonus lecture will address the biblical theology of women in ministry and Deborah's role in that often-argued debate.
The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, this audio Bible study includes high-quality, live audio sessions from the author that cover important Bible-based topics. These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching. While not required for the audio experience, these studies are designed to partner with the coordinating study guide, sold separately.
