Judges 19-21 and the “Othering” of Benjamin by William Krisel Pdf
This book takes a fresh look at the brutal story of the war between the sons of Israel and the sons of Benjamin in Judges 19-21. Relying on archaeological and survey data largely overlooked by biblical scholars, Krisel engages critically with the predominant scholarly view that Judges 19-21 uses “irony” to cast the explicit heroes in the narrative, the sons of Israel, as the implicit villains.
