Sinopsis

The book of Joshua tells the action-packed story of IsraelâÇÖs entry into and conquest of Canaan, the promised land. Yet it is often troubling for contemporary Christian readers, perhaps more than any other part of the Old Testament - isnâÇÖt the violence shown inconsistent with the gospel of Jesus?InáThe Message of Joshua, David G Firth explores this story as part of GodâÇÖs mission, which goes on to find its ultimate focus in Jesus Christ. He illuminates the meaning that the book of Joshua still has for Christians today, it challenges us, just as it challenges those who have read it down through the ages, to recognize that God not only includes those who join him in his mission, he also excludes those who choose to set themselves against it.Part of the loved and trusted The Bible Speaks Today series of commentaries,áThe Message of Joshuaáoffers an clear, readable exposition of the Biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of how its meaning relates to contemporary life. Used by Bible students and teachers around the world, The Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for anyone studying or preaching Joshua and who want to delve deeper into the text.This beautifully redesigned edition has also been sensitively updated to include modern references and use the NRSV Bible text.TheáMessage of Joshuaáwill help for anyone looking for a commentary on Joshua that makes clear its meaning both in its original context and for Christians in the twenty-first century.
