The Judges

1896. The Modern Reader's Bible, a series of works from the sacred scriptures presented in modern literary form. This third volume of Bible history is devoted to the Great Transition in the history of the People of Israel. Hitherto this people of the invisible Jehovah have stood out from the other nations of the world as a nation with an invisible king. Henceforward they will be found assimilated in the form of their government to other peoples; in theory God is still their ruler, but the visible representatives of Jehovah are no longer men raised up by a spiritual call, but kings succeeding by natural descent. The intervening period then presents the Chosen Nation in its efforts towards Secular Government. He has called this volume The Judges: in the title of this office we have the history in embryo.
