Marten H. Woudstra on the conquest narratives, balancing technical detail against homiletic and devotional interpretation, as the NICOT series does throughout. Read more.
Marten H. Woudstra's work on the book of Joshua is a contribution to the New International Commentary on the Old Testament, and like its companion series on the New Testament it takes considerable care to hold a balance between technical information and homiletic-devotional interpretation.
That balance is what a preacher needs most in Joshua, where the historical and moral questions raised by the conquest can swallow a sermon series whole. Woudstra treats the Hebrew text, the archaeology and the theology of the land promise together, and the result serves both the study and the pulpit.
