Publisher's Description
Discover the book of Joshua’s significance for believers today In this new contribution to the Pillar Old Testament commentary series, John D. Currid illuminates the book of Joshua by examining its historical, archaeological, and theological significance. Rather than treating Joshua as an isolated narrative, Currid shows how the book fits into God’s unfolding redemptive plan and connects to the broader biblical story. The commentary features Currid’s own translation of the Hebrew text. His careful attention to exegetical detail gives preachers a solid foundation for their exposition. He also provides a helpful structure for understanding the book’s narrative arc, using descriptive section headings— “Crossing,” “Seizing,” “Dividing,” and “Serving”—to show how the actions of Joshua and the people of Israel unfold across the book’s chapters. Most importantly, Currid consistently shows how the biblical text applies to believers today. In these pages, pastors and teachers will find the guidance they need for connecting the book’s key themes—God’s sovereignty, provision, covenant, and more—to Christian discipleship and the life of the church.
