| Sumario: | This essay explores the theology of the book of Judges, particularly the assertion that it exhibits the Deuteronomistic theology of retributive justice. A synchronic reading of the text suggests instead that Judges displays its own unique narrative theology. Not only does the final form of the book of Judges not exhibit the theological viewpoint usually identified with the Deuteronomistic History, but rather it intentionally challenges such an outlook. The book is permeated by a contrary theology based on a covenant of divine commitment, with consequences rather than conditions. |
