Joshua is not merely a story of conquest but a treasure trove of theology, and David G. Firth interprets it with a sensitivity to its place as Christian Scripture.

The book is marginalized in many churches, often because its message is misread as a military chronicle. Firth shows that Joshua is in fact concerned with identity and faithfulness, exhorting God's people to live out their calling in the light of what God has promised and done.
