In this episode as we continue to situate the book of Joshua in the larger context of the Biblical narrative. We take a close look at Joshua chapter 11, which sheds light on the criteria for success in the military campaigns led by Joshua - the elimination of giant clan city-states, rather than indiscriminate killing of all people in their path. We discuss the presence of other narratives in Joshua that emphasize the driving out of the land's inhabitants, not their extermination. Keeping these facts in mind as we read Joshua helps us to not over interpret and project scenarios into the story that aren't actually there. This, in and of itself, can help us navigate the tensions we feel when reading these stories where violence and death seem to be so prevalent.
But that's not all – we'll also provide a thought-provoking parable to help you understand how to read the book of Joshua in light of the story of Israel and Jesus in the gospels.
