After the remarkable eras of national leadership under Moses and Joshua, the book of Judges delves into the accounts of diverse judges who assumed authority
responsibility to address local religious and military issues during the premonarchic era. This comprehensive volume offers a detailed examination of the entire book of Judges, paying close attention to its distinct elements and their interconnectedness. Elie Assis conducts a thorough literary analysis to unravel the ideology and theology of Judges. He goes beyond the traditional cycle of sin, punishment, and salvation, highlighting how variations in the descriptive language used for each judge, as well as the assessments in the opening and concluding chapters, offer valuable clues about the structure and message of the text.
Most studies on Judges primarily focus on the historical background of the period or the historical process of the book's composition, attempting to break down its stories into individual components. In contrast, Before There Were Kings emphasizes the profound unity of Judges and the role of each individual story within the larger narrative. This groundbreaking work provides fresh and insightful perspectives related to the purpose of each section and the themes that shape the book as a whole. It makes a significant contribution to research on the book of Judges, particularly appealing to students and scholars of the Old Testament and the Hebrew Bible.
