In this new addition to the JSOT Supplement series, Bluedorn has offered an insightful reading of Judg 6-9 that develops in a helpful way the role of this material for understanding the book of Judges as a whole. Bluedorn's careful and thoroughgoing effort makes this volume a helpful addition to the body of literature available on Judges. This is especially welcome, given that the book of Judges is yet to appear in most contemporary commentary series. It is a thorough but unexciting study.
The author uses a literary-theological approach to argue that the main theme of the combined Gideon-Abimelech narrative is a theological one, where the narrator demonstrates Yahweh's supreme power and contrasts it with the absence of Baal, the representative of foreign gods. While the Gideon narrative focuses on Yahweh and the illustration of his power and contrasts it with Gideon's limited capacities, the Abimelech narrative demonstrates Baal's absence, Baalism's disastrous potential, and Yahweh's continued control over the events. Hence Gideon's victory over the Midianites and Abimelech's kingship serve only as the tangible instruments by which a single abstract theological theme becomes narratable.
