Sinopsis

The Book of Joshua presents a theocratic history that traces Israel’s growth—from conquest and covenant to land allotment and future welfare.

This introduction explains the book’s purpose: to view Joshua’s acts as part of God’s work with his people. It outlines the book’s three main parts—the conquest, the division of the land, and Joshua’s leadership—and notes how the narrative is shaped to reflect the kingdom of God. The discussion also considers sources beyond the Bible and the question of authorship, offering context for how the book has been understood over time.



Readers will gain a clear view of how the land was apportioned, the roles of leaders like Eleazar and Joshua, and how the text connects to broader biblical history. The author discusses archaeological and historical perspectives that illuminate the setting without claiming conclusive answers.




  • The book’s three-part structure and what each part covers

  • Questions of authorship, dating, and composition

  • How the land was allotted and what that means for the narrative

  • Connections to external sources and historical context



Ideal for readers seeking a concise, scholarly entry into the background and framework of Joshua.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Book of Joshua

It may be divided into three parts: I. The conquest of the land, ch. I. - xii.; though, as a matter of arrangement, if one preferred it, the earlier chapters might be placed separately as an introduction, with the history of the crossing of the Jordan, and the restoration of the people to the full enjoyment of their privileges as the professing Church of God. II. The allotment made of the land to the tribes, including along with this the appointment of the cities of refuge, and the provision of cities for the Levites, ch. Xiii. - xxi. Perhaps ch. Xxii. May be regarded as an appendix to this, the dismissal of the eastern tribes to their homes, and the jealousy for purity of worship other wise it might be classed with the two chapters which follow. III. The jealousy of Joshua for the godliness and obedience of the people, which involved their future welfare and a few closing verses which tell of the death of him and his companions and fellow-workers, ch. Xxiii. Xxiv.
