The series editors are David G.
Each series volume is grounded in rigorous scholarship but is useful for those who preach and teach.
This volume, the first in a new series on the Historical Books, complements other Baker Commentary on the Old Testament series: Pentateuch, Wisdom and Psalms, and Prophets.
He examines the text section by section--offering a fresh translation, textual notes, paragraph-level commentary, and theological reflection--and addresses important issues and problems that flow from the text and its discussion.
Goldingay treats Joshua as an ancient Israelite document that speaks to twenty-first-century Christians.
The commentary is both critically engaged and sensitive to the theological contributions of the text.
In this book he draws on the best of biblical scholarship as well as the Christian tradition to offer a substantive and useful commentary on Joshua.
