"The Expositor's Bible: Judges and Ruth" by Robert A. Watson is a religious commentary written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the biblical texts of the Books of Judges and Ruth, providing scholarly interpretation and insight into the spiritual and moral themes present in these texts. The book explores the historical context of the Israelites during their settlement in Canaan and the complexities of their relationship with surrounding nations, illustrating the struggles, victories, and moral dilemmas faced by the Hebrew people. The opening of the commentary introduces the tumultuous period of the Book of Judges, highlighting a pivotal transition from nomadic life to settlement in Canaan. Watson emphasizes the challenges faced by the Israelites, including the trials of war, the question of divine purpose amidst conflict, and the struggle against idolatry. He sets the tone for a deep analysis of the interaction between faith and national identity, suggesting that the history of Israel serves as a reflection of broader moral and spiritual dynamics relevant to all humanity. Through this framework, Watson hints at the key themes that will be explored, such as divine justice, human obedience, and the inevitable blending of sacred and secular lives in the quest for identity and survival.
