Gideon is visited by an angel who tells him that he has been chosen by God to lead the Israelites to victory. The second book describes Gideon’s preparations for battle, including the recruitment of soldiers and the destruction of pagan altars.The third book describes the battle itself, in which Gideon and his army defeat the Midianites. The fourth book focuses on Gideon’s aftermath, including his refusal to become a king and his establishment of a peaceful rule. The fifth book describes Gideon’s downfall, as he is tempted by wealth and power and ultimately leads his people into idolatry.The sixth book describes Gideon’s redemption, as he repents and destroys the idols. The final book describes Gideon’s death and his legacy, as the Israelites continue to follow God’s commandments. Overall, Gideon: A Poem In Seven Books is a religious and historical epic that explores themes of leadership, faith, and redemption.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
