Joshua's book tension results from the 3 "onlys" of ch. 1. But they all work out: God is faithful, Joshua is brave, and the people obey.

When we started this study on Joshua, it was kind of overwhelming. How can you tell what you're supposed to focus on as you read? How can you tell what's important to the author? Usually what biblical authors do near the start of their books is give you some help in this. They'll ...read more
