What is theme of Judges?

Answer 1

The cycle (not the theme) of Judges is this: Israel rebels, God judges them through another nation, the people repent, and God raises up a deliverer, a judge. In this pattern there may be discerned a main theme: God's Faithfulness to His People. Now, it could be argued otherwise, but truly, God's faithfulness through His covenant is the reason why He remains Israel's God, and it shows the principle all throughout the book that as 1 John 1.9 says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness." This is a just, holy God, who hates sin, but who loves His people, and He always softens the hearts of His true people. We know that His love is not baseless, but had in view not the sacrifice of lambs and bulls, but of the Passover Lamb: Christ, and that is why He remained Israel's God, and why the righteous of Israel cried out to Him when in oppression, because of His covenant.
