Summary:

Judges and Method provides state-of-the-art introductions to leading critical methods in biblical study, all focused on a specific biblical book, Judges, and the larger Deuteronomistic History of which it is a part. Since its publication in 1995, the first edition has established itself as a unique classroom resource that teachers can integrate into their instruction in variety of ways. The second edition has been revised throughout, and includes new essays on Gender Criticism, Cultural Criticism, and Postcolonial Criticism, as well as a glossary and indexes.
