The book of Joshua brings to life real history during the
crucial period of transition for the Israelites as they follow
God's direction and settle in the promised land. Israel needed
discipline in light of their newfound freedom. They faced the
responsibility of living as a covenant people while adapting to
change. Joshua describes the historic shift from the revelation of
God's promises to their realization. God's care of his people
becomes obvious, and their struggle with disobedience, selfishness,
and fear is very human.
Francis Schaeffer's thoughts on the book of Joshua show readers
the historic, spiritual, and intellectual nourishment available for
the Christian life through the examples of Joshua and his fellow
Israelites. In the book of Joshua, Schaeffer finds that God reveals
his sorrow over human sin, as well as his gracious love for his
people. This is as true for us as it was for those in Joshua's
time. This study of the settling of Israel will inspire readers to
see the hand of God present in all of history, including today.
