Description
The book of Joshua is action-packed but also troubling for contemporary readers: Isn't there too much violence, and isn't this inconsistent with the rest of Scripture, and the gospel? David Firth's exposition contends that we must read Joshua as part of God's mission, which for much of the Old Testament centered on Israel, but finds its ultimate focus in Jesus Christ.
