About this title

Synopsis

The Book of Judges narrates one of the most chaotic and morally dark eras of Israel's story. Into this morally-ambiguous time comes one of the most unlikely leaders of the biblical text—the prophet Deborah. Also a wife, mother, priest, and judge, Deborah responds to her call and transforms chaos into order by leading Israel in one of the most pivotal victories of her time.

Join beloved scholar and professor Dr. Sandra L. Richter as she illustrates the era of the Judges by means of the archaeological record, historical geography, cultural context, and the hard facts of warfare in the ancient world. This eight-session Bible study draws you immediately into the grand tale of Deborah and challenges you, as a Christ-follower, to ask yourself where God wants to expand his kingdom in your realm of influence today.

You will consider and answer three critical questions:

1. What territory can you see from where you're standing that you know belongs to the Kingdom, but is not yet won?
2. Is it worth fighting for?
3. Are you willing to step out on faith and trust God for the victory?

This study guide includes:

• Individual access to eight streaming videos from Sandra
• Video outlines for notetaking
• Group discussion questions
• In-depth individual study between sessions
• Maps, activities, and direct correlation between the biblical Ancient Near East and your life today!
