• Resumen

  • The book of Judges offers in its present state two introductions (Jdg 1,1-2,5; 2,6-3,6); each of them gives a different literary and theological perspective. The first relates to the tribes, personages and context where the events take place in a concrete way; the religious behaviour of Israel before God appears more evident, as the apostasy and infidelity. The tribe of Judah becomes protagonist. However, in Jdg 2,6-3,6 we find a more abstract account (narration), that gives the reading clues of the entire book, offering a kind of summary of the whole. Jdg 2,6-3,6 shows a more kerigmatic fashion, while the dirst introduction looks predominantly into the historical deeds, in order to facilitate the reader his own religious judgement. Confronting both narrations, the deuteronomist hand appears more continually in Jdeg 2,6-3,6.

    The present study intends to examine these questions and, at the same time, tries to weigh up the function of the second introduction with regard to entire book. To this effect, the literary coincidences are decisive, and these will be deeply developed in our article.
