Présentation de l'éditeur
The Book of Joshua relates the history of the conquest of Canaan under the lead of Joshua, the successor of Moses, the diyision of the conquered land among the tribes of I srael, and the provision for the settlement of the theocracy in that country. The Book cJ udges continues the history of the theocracy from the death of Joshua to the time of Eli, under the administration of thirteen Judges, whom God raised up in special emergencies for the restoration of social order and deliverance from foreign oppression.

The story of Ruth is told with touching simplicity. Gothe (W est stlicher Diaarij p. 8) says :I tis the loveliest thing, in the shape of an epic or idyl, which has come to us.
