This volume studies the biblical book of Judges, which focuses on the period in Israel's history when the nation was ruled by a series of judges. The book describes the progressive deterioration of the nation as a result of the violence and idolatry of the people. Yet the nation also encountered the astounding graciousness of the God who remained faithful to them.

Because of its timeless appeal, popular music often unites people of diverse backgrounds and ages. While many churches have condemned popular music as Satan's tool, others have used the musical styles of popular songs to interest and attract young followers. Using contemporary songs from performers as diverse as Madonna, Alanis Morissette, Billy Joel, Dishwalla and the Dave Matthews Band, the authors argue that popular music often reveals insights into the nature of God, human nature, Jesus Christ, the church and the church's mission. The authors choose the songs under consideration in the book primarily because the music and lyrics have made an impact on popular culture. For example, the authors argue that Madonna's song and video "Like a Prayer" "offer a trenchant criticism of racism and injustice on explicitly Christological grounds." Through their investigation of faith and popular music, the authors offer glimpses into the religious dimension of popular culture. The final chapter offers tips on how to use the materials in group settings, a song by song analysis of the music mentioned in the book, &amp; discussion questions and/or activities for each chapter.
