Reviews

I enthusiastically recommend this commentary because of its sensitive literary reading of the book as well as its insightful theological analysis. Joshua is often ignored or avoided these days by Christians because of its violence, but Firth helps us appreciate its importance to our theology and faith. --Tremper Longman III, Westmont College Accessible. Engaging. Faithful. A great addition to the study of Joshua; I'd recommend it to my seminary students, to pastors, and to interested laypeople. --Lissa M. Wray Beal, Providence Theological Seminary, Otterburne, Canada What is offered in this commentary is a meticulous reading of the text highlighting the literary features as well as paying due attention to historical matters. Equally important is that the commentary also probes the theological significance of each unit. Interested readers of the Bible, theological students, pastors, Old Testament scholars, and theologians will benefit a lot by reading this commentary and acquaint themselves with the intriguing book of Joshua. --S. D. Snyman, University of the Free State
