Deborah: Unlikely Heroes and the Book of Judges by Sandra Richter
"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.
Dr. Sandra Richter, Harvard educated scholar, wife, mom, passionate follower of Jesus will open our eyes to Deborah. 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."
