The book of Joshua memorializes a transitional episode in Israel's
national history. The heroic figure Joshua, imbued with strength,
courage and faith, leads the new generation of Israel across the
Jordan and into the land of promise, conquering Canaanites and
overseeing the allotment of the inheritance among the tribes.But
the book of Joshua is foremost a story of God, who works powerfully
on behalf of Israel and Joshua, fulfilling his covenant promises.
It is God who leads Israel across the Jordan, God who defeats
Israel's enemies and God who presides over the apportionment of the
land. And so in the final chapter it is God who receives Israel's
worshipful recommitment at Shechem.In this Tyndale Old Testament
Commentary, Richard S. Hess explores these historical, theological
and literary dimensions of the book of Joshua. An exceptional
feature of his commentary is his careful consideration of the
allocation of the Promised Land and the boundary lists the book of
Joshua so prominently displays. And in a day when grave doubts have
been raised over the historicity of the "conquest" story, Hess
presents historical and archaeological evidence for placing the
events of Joshua in the late second millennium B.C.The original,
unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and
printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover
design for the series.
