What does it mean that the Lord delivers people unto a covenant? Dr. Dana Pike explores the pattern of repentance, covenant making, prosperity, covenant-breaking, captivity, and then the Lord raising deliverers and judges in the Book of Judges. In addition, we discuss the difficulties of violence in the Hebrew Bible as well as review what has happened with the Israelites and the Divided Kingdom. Help us get the message out.
