Description

JOSHUA. By L. Daniel Hawk. Berit Olam. Pp. xxxii + 303. Collegeville, Minn.: The Liturgical Press, 2000. Cloth, $39.95. The interpreter of the book of Joshua faces a daunting task. Knotty historical problems and textual obscurities abound, as does terrible violence toward the Canaanites. Troubling questions surface concerning the ethics of the conquest and the morality of the God who achieved it. The book's diverse contents--that is, battle reports, cultic ceremonies, boundary lists, etc.--require the scholar to command a wide range of archaeological, geographical, literary, cultural, and theological details. Its diversity also severely taxes attempts to discern internal literary coherence. At one crucial point the book seems to contradict itself, celebrating that "Joshua took the whole land" (Josh 11:23) and then listing "the land that remains" (Josh 13:2). The present volume capably navigates the complex landscape and, for the most part, succeeds admirably, if not persuasively, in offering a coherent literary reading of the whole book.
