About this product
Product Information
"No other book of the Bible is quite so R-rated. No other book is quite so ugly or grotesque. Judges offers its reader not a roster of angelic saints, but an astonishing tempest of brutality, feces, slaughter, assassinations, conspiracy, genocide, child sacrifice, rage, betrayal, mass graves, gang-rape, corpse mutilation, kidnapping, and civil war." Gift of the Grotesque offers readers a series of seven theological essays focused on one of the most confusing and challenging books in the biblical canon. Stulac's captivating style combines sensitive exegesis with broadly accessible meditations on culture, art, music, literature, memoir, theology, and spirituality. Better understood as a companion rather than a biblical commentary, this unusual resource will kickstart the theological imagination of anyone who struggles to understand how the book of Judges points forward to the life and work of Jesus Christ. Dare to follow an experienced biblical scholar into the heart of Israel's theological Dark Age, and you will encounter there the transformative Word of God in ways you do not expect. The prophetic book of Judges, writes Stulac, "wants to gut you like a fish, because on the far side of that unenviable prospect, it wants you alive like you've never lived before."

Reviews
"This is commentary in a completely new key--arresting, disruptive, and above all, wise. Working exegetically from the heart of Judges, that cauldron of biblical violence, Stulac offers an unabashed testimony of Christian faith. He writes compellingly, and often beautifully, as a biblical scholar who has not forgotten what Scripture is for: to break our hearts and give us life in abundance." --Ellen F. Davis, Duke University Divinity School "Those who fear that biblical interpretation is all too often a staid and predictable exercise, with little to say to the realities of life, should turn aside and linger here. Eyes will be opened, and distracted hearts will be engaged." --Walter Moberly, Durham University "Stulac's Gift of the Grotesque grabs you as a reader and throws you into a Christological wrestling match with the Old Testament book of Judges, one of the most challenging books of Scripture. Stulac's seven profound and prophetic meditations on these stories of messiness, violence, death, tragedy, and horror offer a compelling vision of God's alternative economy of pure gift and promise set against the idolatries of human payment, control, and self-sufficiency." --Dennis Olson, Princeton Theological Seminary
