The Bible’s Old Testament books of Judges and Ruth occur during a time of great trial and often violent encounters for Israel – the time between the exodus and establishment of the monarchy.

For insight into how to read and understand these challenging passages, Pastor Clayton interviews Old Testament expert Dr. Sandra Richter, the Robert H. Gundry Chair of Biblical Studies at Westmont College.

Content Warning: This interview does touch on stories of violence and sexual assault, which may be difficult for some listeners.
