N2  - "Joshua is not merely a story of conquest. It's a treasure trove of theology. David G. Firth interprets the book of Joshua with a sensitivity to its role as Christian Scripture. Joshua is marginalized in many churches, often because its message is misunderstood. Firth reveals that, rather than simply being a story of conquest, Joshua is concerned with matters of identity and faithfulness. It exhorts God's people to live out their calling in light of God's promises."--
