Berea

Gideon and His Three Hundred

Judges 6:11-16Judges 7:2-7Judges 8:22-27

A frightened farmer threshing wheat in hiding is greeted as a mighty warrior, argues with God twice, tears down his own father's idol at night, watches an army of thirty-two thousand shrink to three hundred — and then, after the victory, throws it all away.

Not an endorsement. Berea does not necessarily agree with the theology, denominational views, or conclusions of the writers featured here. These are historic, public-domain works, offered because they are well-written and worth wrestling with — part of the long Christian tradition of taking Scripture seriously, not a doctrinal recommendation. Read to be engaged and provoked, then test everything against Scripture and your own study.
