Journey Through Joshua

DAY 1 OF 15

Nicole introduces this course as Joshua, Moses’ right hand man and one of the faithful spies, was now ready to lead God’s people for their next chapter. There are miracles, but there are also mistakes. God will use each battle to reveal himself to the Canaanites ... and the Israelites. You’ll find that the ultimate objective of the Conquest was not to win wars but something more important.

Intro

Nicole introduces this lesson on how war fits into a larger plan that actually brings about redemption and rest. We'll begin with a famous story of leadership succession.

Overview: In the Text

Joshua is a hinge between the Torah and the history that follows. Let’s explore a few of the links that look back and look forward.

Joshua’s Place in the Canon

For Christians, Joshua is the first Old Testament history book. For Jews it is the first prophetic book. To make things even more interesting, academics refer to it as the first “Deuteronomic” book. Learning more about these three names will help us appreciate three different dimensions of Joshua that are all in place.
