Joshua : from bibical text--to contemporary life
Robert L. Hubbard (Author)
The book of Joshua recounts two major transitions in the lives of God's chosen people--a transition in leadership from Moses to Joshua, and a drastic change from being wandering clans of herdsmen to a settled nation of farmers in the Promised Land. But in many ways, to many Christians, the book of Joshua contains stories and messages that are difficult to comprehend. From the bloodshed and annihilation of an ancient tribe as the Israelites battled with the people living in the land of Canaan, to the story of Achan, who, upon disobedience to a single command of God, was destroyed alongside his entire family--war and ethnic cleansing are just two examples of the difficult subject matter in the book of Joshua. Robert Hubbard navigates through these chapters, probing beneath the surface of the biblical text to apply the timeless themes of this book to our lives in the twenty-first century
