The Book of Joshua presents a theocratic history that traces Israel’s growth—from conquest and covenant to land allotment and future welfare.
This introduction explains the book’s purpose: to view Joshua’s acts as part of God’s work with his people. It outlines the book’s three main parts—the conquest, the division of the land, and Joshua’s leadership—and notes how the narrative is shaped to reflect the kingdom of God. The discussion also considers sources beyond the Bible and the question of authorship, offering context for how the book has been understood over time.
Readers will gain a clear view of how the land was apportioned, the roles of leaders like Eleazar and Joshua, and how the text connects to broader biblical history. The author discusses archaeological and historical perspectives that illuminate the setting without claiming conclusive answers.
Ideal for readers seeking a concise, scholarly entry into the background and framework of Joshua.
