The 20th volume in the popular Bible study series leads readers through a penetrating study of the Books of Judges and Ruth using the biblical text itself and the Church's own guidelines for understanding the Bible.

Ample notes accompany each page, providing fresh insights by renowned Bible teachers Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, as well as time-tested interpretations from the Fathers of the Church. They provide rich historical, cultural, geographical or theological information pertinent to the Old Testament book - information that bridges the distance between the biblical world and our own.

It also includes Topical Essays, Word Studies and Charts. The Topical Essays explore the major themes of Judges and Ruth, often relating them to the teachings of the Church. The Word Studies explain the background to important Bible terms, while the Charts summarize crucial biblical information "at a glance".

Scott Hahn, Ph.D., well-known as the author of several best-selling books including Rome Sweet Home and The Lambs Supper, is a professor of scripture at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, and a very popular scripture scholar and speaker.

Curtis Mitch, a former student of Scott Hahn, is the General Editor of the complete Ignatius Study Bible series.
