Exalting Jesus in Judges and Ruth is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L.

Each chapter explains and applies key passages, providing helpful outlines for study and teaching.

More devotional than academic, the expositions are presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation.

I recently read the book of Judges and found myself confused and baffled. I’ve read books from this series before and were pleased, so I bought this exposition just for the book of Judges. This review is just for the Judges portion of the commentary.
Redmond does a fair job tackling Judges. Admittedly, it is a challenging book of the Bible to comment on. It holds some of the most violent and disturbing text of all scripture. Redmond does a great job applying the stories to modern times and finding the “Big Picture” Christ narrative throughout the book. He does not shy away from deep, painful motifs and strives to make it evident and clear what the original author’s intentions were.
I deducted 2 stars because when I read commentary, especially commentary that claims it’s audience is novice Bible scholars (like myself), I expect explanations of historical context, expanding on Greek or Hebrew words in the original translation, and diverse opinions or understandings- all of which were scarce. Most frustrating of all, was Redmond’s use of confusing run-on sentences. Or maybe I’m just a simpleton who likes things short and clear. This made the book less interesting and confounding for me. Which is why it took me a long time to finish,
