| Summary: | Judges has fared almost unprecedentedly well in biblical scholarship of the last decade: between 2006 and 2013, major studies of the book and commentaries on it were being published at the average rate of almost one per year. The reviewed volume is one of the latest—but already not the latest—among them. What sets it apart is the author’s standing in the profession: Barry Webb’s The Book of Judges: The Integrated Reading (JSOTSup 46; Sheffield: Sheffield Academic Press, 1987; republished 2008)—which he commendably mentions only in the preface and does not even include in the ‘select bibliography’—pioneered full-scale synchronic, literary-critical analysis of the book (although earlier publications by Robert Alter and Robert Polzin also dealt with it, they had barely scratched the surface). |
