NIVAC 05: Joshua

NIVAC 05: Joshua

Reading Joshua can be, frankly, a jarring experience. Serious, troubling
questions about GodÉs attitude toward his created peoples arise, questions with
no easy answer. But the book of Joshua presents itself, warts (and wars!) and
all, and asks readers to let it tell its story from its point of view and out
of its ancient context. It asks them to give it the benefit of the doubt and
permit it to speak to them. This commentary aims to give its voice a clear
hearing - to translate its ancient cultural form in such a way that it
freely speaks about the life of faith today. Basically, the book of Joshua
tells how biblical Israel navigated a major historical transition early in its
national life. The book shows that guiding these changes is IsraelÉs God,
Yahweh, through his chosen servant, Joshua. The introductory sections to follow
set the scene for entering the book of Joshua and the ancient world about which
it reports. Most Bible commentaries take us on a one-way trip from our
world to the world of the Bible. But they leave us there, assuming that we can
somehow make the return journey on our own. They focus on the original meaning
of the passage but donÉt discuss its contemporary application. The information
they offer is valuable - but the job is only half done! The NIV
Application Commentary Series helps bring both halves of the interpretive task
together. This unique, award-winning series shows readers how to bring an
ancient message into our present-day context. Joshua helps readers learn how
the message of Joshua can have the same powerful impact today that it did when
it was first written.Series: NIV Application
