Joshua

This commentary attempts to understand and explain the book of Joshua
on its own value and not as part of a larger literary creation as those
theories are largely disputed. It includes the insights of modern
scholarship, but also does not turn a blind eye on earlier
interpretations of the book. Joshua is arguably the most
important biblical book when it comes to questions of Historical
Geography of ancient Israel. Here this aspect is taken into account more
than in some other modern commentaries; this can also be related to the
fact that the author is a biblical scholar who lives in Israel having
worked in the fields of Archeology and Historical Geography.
