Peter Masters writes, 'Rooted and grounded in love for the Lord, Joshua was utterly faithful, wonderfully stable, and scrupulously obedient. The book of the Bible that bears his name is a magnificent anthology of events to challenge and inspire God's children in every age.' Joshua's Conquest seeks to bring out the spiritual message of Joshua for today, and also to explain some of the 'problem' portions and passages which evoke questions on, for example, the morality of so much killing, and whether God was responsible for hardening the hearts of the Canaanites. Consequently, not all of Joshua is covered (such as the allocation of the land) and little attention is given to the geography of the battles. |
