Description
A groundbreaking study of this important yet sometimes puzzling biblical book.
Professor Auld considers the varied witnesses to its ancient text; the meaning of partiular words or names; the connections between Joshua and other books of the Bible, especially Judges, Kings and Chronicles; and the history of the interpretation of Joshua from earliest to most recent times.
