Description
Joshua is the Old Testament book that troubles the contemporary readers, whether Christians or critics. Isn't there too much violence? Isn't this inconsistent with the rest of the Scripture and the message of the gospel? David Firth begins his excellent exposition with a careful and helpful response to this issue. This book challenges those who have read Joshua down through the ages to recognize that God doesn't just include those who join him in his mission; he also excludes those who set themselves against it.
