Right in Their Own Eyes explains Judges from three Old Testament and three New Testament perspectives.

Schwab also shows how God sovereignly works among his wayward people to forge a community of faith under the New Covenant, which points to Christ, calls modern Christians to faith and obedience, and looks forward to the return of Christ and the final judgment. --from publisher description
