"Judges is not an easy book to understand or interpret, especially from a feminist perspective, despite having fascinating and masterful literary stories. However, Mercedes L. García Bachmann manages to hook her readers page by page. Her commentary is rigorous and tremendously current. The commentary offers the reader everything he or she needs to have a complete vision of Judges. As in front of an orchestra, García Bachmann directs the numerous voices that appear in the book and provides a harmonious reading of texts characterized by the disharmony of violence itself. This is a commentary that must be read to understand the book of Judges and at the same time, to situate the violence, especially against women, that continues to ravage our world."Mercedes Navarro Puerto, Scripture scholar and feminist theologian, Madrid
