The Story of Jephthah is a book written by Peter Rudland that focuses on the biblical tale of Jephthah, as told in the eleventh and twelfth chapters of the Book of Judges. Jephthah was a warrior who was called upon by the Israelites to lead them in battle against the Ammonites. However, before the battle, Jephthah made a vow to God that if he was victorious, he would sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house upon his return. Tragically, this turned out to be his own daughter, and the book explores the moral and ethical dilemmas presented by this story.Rudland provides a detailed analysis of the story of Jephthah, examining its historical context, literary structure, and theological implications. He also draws on a range of other sources, including ancient Near Eastern literature and modern scholarship, to shed light on this complex and controversial story.Overall, The Story of Jephthah is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most challenging passages in the Bible. It offers readers a deeper understanding of the story of Jephthah and its relevance to contemporary issues of faith, morality, and ethics.This is a new release of the original 1954 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
