Judges Introduction
JudgesSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides an introduction to the book of Judges, which he suggests was likely written by tradition rather than by Samuel. He discusses the political and religious structure of Israel at that time, noting that the people were led by God rather than a king. Gregg also touches on the 13 judges mentioned in the book and highlights some disturbing stories, such as Samson's multiple sins and the lack of true worshipers among the people of Israel.
