BOOK SYNOPSIS - CONQUEST AND CRISIS - $17.99

Conquest and Crisis:

Studies in Joshua, Judges and Ruth by John J. Davis.

The conquest and settlement of Canaan is one of the most exciting eras in Israel’s eventful history. This volume is the revised and updated version of an earlier work by the same title. It examines the text of Joshua, Judges and Ruth from the standpoint of theology, history, the Hebrew text, archaeology and practical applications. The most recent archaeological discoveries are noted as they shed light on these books. This book deals with thorny ethical issues such as, “Was the lie of Rahab justified? ”and “How could a loving God call for the slaughter of innocent men, women and children in the conquest battles?” Also very helpful is the discussion of the identification of the site of Ai which utilizes the latest in archaeological field work. Maps, charts and photographs will be a valuable asset both in the classroom and the pastor’s study.
