Practical and Pastoral Observations on the Book of Joshua (please read each chapter slowly and meditatively before reading observations below):

Introduction: Joshua, whose name means "Yahweh is salvation" is the name name as Jesus who is the salvation of Yahweh. The book is written largely as an eye-witness account by the author, Joshua himself (cf. chapter 24). Joshua recounts the conquest and division of the land promised to the children of Israel. The Ras Shamra Tablets describe the Canaanite religion as involving prostitution of both sexes, infant sacrifice and other corrupt and brutal practices which God wanted removed rather than be incorporated into the life of His people. This theme of avoiding syncretism is an important theme through the Scriptures as salvation comes from Yahweh alone.
