Joshua
Joshua recounts the conquest and settlement of Canaan under Israel's new leader, Joshua. Following Moses’ death, Joshua leads the Israelites across the Jordan River, captures key cities like Jericho, and divides the land among the twelve tribes. This book emphasizes God’s faithfulness to His promises, the necessity of obedience, and the theme of divine victory through faith.
Author: Joshua – Military Leader and Successor to Moses
Traditionally attributed to Joshua himself, this book is understood to be a first-person historical account, with possible additions by later scribes. As Moses’ appointed successor, Joshua documented Israel’s campaigns, covenant renewal ceremonies, and tribal allocations, serving both as commander and spiritual leader of the people.
