Joshua by John Goldingay

Joshua by John Goldingay

Explore the contemporary significance of the Old Testament and hear the Word of God afresh John Goldingay is one of the most prolific and creative Old Testament scholars working today. In this book he draws on the best of biblical scholarship as well as the Christian tradition to offer a substantive and useful commentary on Joshua. The commentary is both critically engaged and sensitive to the theological contributions of the text. Goldingay treats Joshua as an ancient Israelite document that speaks to twenty-first-century Christians. He examines the text section by section and addresses important issues and problems that flow from the text and its discussion. In addition to paragraph-level commentary, all volumes of the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament series feature: ● A fresh translation of the Hebrew text ● Incisive comments based on the author's translation ● Linguistic, historical, and canonical insights ● Theological reflections ● Footnotes addressing technical matters Pastors, teachers, and all serious students of the Bible will find here an accessible commentary that will serve as an excellent resource for their study. This volume, the first in a new series on the Historical Books, complements other Baker Commentary on the Old Testament series: Pentateuch, Wisdom and Psalms, and Prophets. Each series volume is grounded in rigorous scholarship but is useful for those who preach and teach. The series editors are David G. Firth (Trinity College, Bristol) and Lissa M. Wray Beal (Wycliffe College, University of Toronto).
