Dear All,
Wow, such a dry spell! I hope you have been dancing in the crispy leaves.
Session 10 Conquest & Judges - Part 2. We move into the Book of Judges. Required reading is Judges 1: 1-3:6, Judges 6-7, Judges 17-21 and the book of Ruth.
There is guidance that some of the events in Judges make for tough reading. So be sure to pray before and after you read.

Conquest and Judges - Part 2
Israel's occupation of Canaan: Prologue - Judges 1: 1-3:6
1.
After the initial victories God gave to Israel on entering the land, it remained their task to fully occupy it by driving the people out and breaking down their altars. Compare the way Judah and Simeon set out to occupy their tribal area in the South with the way the other (Northern) tribes occupied theirs.
Israel's occupation of Canaan: Epilogue - Judges 17-21
2.
The
closing chapters of Judges are flanked with this phrase "In those days
there was no king in Israel, every man did what was right in his own
eyes" Judges 17:6 and 21:25.
How does Israel's history so far illustrate the truth that, as the Catechism states, "there is no true freedom except in the service of what is good and just. The choice to disobey and do evil is an abuse of freedom and leads to 'the slavery of sin' (cf. Romans 6:17)"? (See No. 1733 For more on what the Church has to say about man's freedom read all of Nos 1730 and 1748

Seven Cycles of Sin and Deliverance - Judges 3:7-16:31
3. Choose the story of one judge and use it to
describe the cycle: Sin > Servitude > Supplication > Salvation > Silence
4. In Judges 6 - 7 What do these 2 chapters tell you about the ways of God in the midst of seemingly inevitable defeat?
5. The Book of Ruth provides a welcome counterpoint to the closing chapters of Judges. How is Ruths story the total opposite of the one told in Judges?

Remember, please pray before you read...see you next Wednesday!

I will miss everyone tonight. However, I am not going to miss the World Series game tonight. This might be the night that the Red Sox win at Fenway Patk. This hasn't happened since 1918.
