Goldingay is an interpreter of remarkable breadth, insight, and clarity"Join John Goldingay for another winsome engagement with the biblical text, this time Joshua. Consider his creative insights into what is going on in this most difficult of books. Reflect on the questions he asks and his interaction with scholarship. In the end, you cannot help but benefit from this excellent commentary on Joshua."--Richard S. Hess, Denver Seminary"As we have come to expect, in his newest commentary Goldingay provides a vibrant and down-to-earth engagement with the book of Joshua, challenging interpreters at every turn to reconsider their assumptions and think about the text afresh. Readers can expect to find stimulating literary, theological, and canonical reflections as they engage anew one of the most consequential books of the Hebrew Bible."--Michelle Knight, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School"John Goldingay has a special gift for theological insight, and this volume showcases that flair, especially when it adeptly addresses some of the thorniest theological issues in the book of Joshua--namely, the conquest of the land, colonialism, and the displacement of native people groups. This wonderful commentary is highly accessible and will be especially useful for clergy and lay readers with its plain-speaking manner of writing and useful contemporary analogies."--Melissa Ramos, Portland Seminary at George Fox University"John Goldingay is an interpreter of remarkable breadth, insight, and clarity. He is at the very top of his game in this volume. The introduction constitutes, hands down, the best orientation to the scholarship on Joshua to date, not only offering lucid discussions on the full range of issues and approaches associated with the book but also explaining what's at stake in them. Goldingay's exposition works through the text with cogency, levelheadedness, and a touch of humor. This volume, in short, constitutes the new beginning point for those drawn to the study of Joshua."--L. Daniel Hawk, Ashland Theological Seminary
