*Condition Note: Book is new.*

Even promises made to prostitutes. Even promises made to conniving Gibeonites. For Better or worse, richer or poorer, a promise is scared.
After a lifetime as a desert nomad, Joshua, with no military training, is told to take his ragtag army, cross the Jordan, and overthrow the fortified cities of Canaan. " I will give you every place where you set your foot, "God promised. "No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life" (Joshua 1:3, 5, NIV).
Author Roy Adams Brings Joshua to life. He explores the underlying historical, geographical, and psychological subtexts, providing a strategic understanding of Israel's military campaign. He grapples with the divine command to slaughter every man, woman, child, and animal. Can ethnic cleansing be reconciled with the sixth commandment? The author makes an important contribution to understanding violence in the Old Testament at a time when our society is preoccupied with questions of terrorism and jihad.
