Joshua
The Book of Joshua is preaching material beamed to Israel in the form of historical narrative. We need to see clearly that “history in the Old Testament is a declaration from God about God.”
As you read and study Joshua, try to keep asking yourself the question: What is the writer preaching about when he tells me this story? He is not telling you the story only to inform you (although that is part of it); he has a message to proclaim, a God to press upon you. - Dale Ralph Davis
