Gordon McConville is Professor of Old Testament Theology at the University of Gloucestershire Cheltenham England.A new introduction to the text of JoshuaCovers all historical and theological issuesProvides focus on how to read Joshua in the present dayJames Gordon McConville is Professor of Old Testament Theology at the University of Gloucestershire Cheltenham UK.The book of Joshua with its memorable images of the crossing of the River Jordan and the miraculous conquest of the city of Jericho plays an important part in the Old Testaments narrative and theology of Gods promise and gift of the land of Canaan to Israel.In this guide Gordon McConville considers the various aspects of interpreting Joshua including questions of its origins and occasion its literary formation and its theology. He also looks squarely at the difficulties it poses to the modern reader and the dangers of simplistic interpretations especially when allied with power systems. Yet among the possible approaches to Joshua certain readings suggest unexpected messages and with the books memorable central image of crossing a river in an escape from tyranny into new life it can prompt fruitful reflection on other ścrossings perhaps helping us to overcome the deepest human hostilities.A guide to the interpretation history and theology of Joshua with a focus on crossing boundaries and divides.PrefaceAcknowledgements1Outline of Joshua 2Joshua in Literary Criticism 3Joshua as Literature 4Joshua and Genre: History and Myth 5Joshua and Theology6Joshua TodayIndexI am asked from time to time to recommend a book to ministers preparing for a preaching series on a particular biblical book. I will in future highly recommend Joshua: An Introduction and Study Guide to anyone enquiring about the book of Joshua for such a purpose A very valuable and balanced engagement with the key issues raised by the text. The book would also provide a substantial but accessible introduction to the book for undergraduate study.
