Timothy J. Keller Quote
Put it this way—are his promises conditional, or unconditional? Judges is crucial, in that it shows that neither answer to that question is right. Nearly all readers of the Old Testament take a liberal view (Sure, God will always bless us as long as we are sorry) or a conservative view (No, God will only bless us if we are obedient). Judges leaves us with a tension—that both are true, but neither are fully true—and it will not resolve the tension.
