Joshua is about bravery, rooted in faith in Yahweh. The book of Joshua takes place just after the death of Moses, Israel’s longtime leader. It begins with God commissioning Moses’ successor, Joshua, to lead the Israelites across the Jordan River to take possession of the land that had long ago been promised to their forefather Abraham (Josh 1:1–5; compare Gen 17:8). In the narrative, the Israelites engage in a military campaign against the nations that already live in the promised land, Canaan. Eventually, through God’s intervention, they settle the land and allot territories to their 12 tribes (Josh 14:1–5). The narrative does not merely recount the events of the conquest of Canaan; it also interprets these events theologically. At the end of the book, Joshua charges Israel to choose Yahweh as their God, and the Israelites symbolically renew their covenant with Yahweh.

Declaration and Covenant

Declaration and Covenant

By: Paul Kalluveettil

Declaration and Covenant is a fascinating examination of covenant formulae from the Old Testament and the Ancient Near East. This study shows how covenant partners created their connection by an oral declaration that could affect the original covenantal union, or reaffirm the existing bond or reestablish a broken pact. The author develops the argument through an introductory discussion which establishes the specific Old Testament concept of covenant and shows that ther exists more than one way to designate biblical covenants.
