| Description |
The book of Joshua records a crucial moment as Israel transitions from a wilderness people to those in possession of the land promised long-ago to Abraham. The book has encouraged generations of saints. It has also been misused to validate past and present colonial actions and so-called holy wars. New Atheists dismiss it as indicative of the violence inherent in Christian texts and faith. Christians likewise struggle to understand this difficult book. This course, acknowledging the real challenges the book presents, examines its historical situatedness, literary art, and theological message to hear it as Word of God for God's people today. |
