The book of Joshua highlights the triumphs and difficulties of the Israelites entering and subduing the Promised Land. Unbelievers and many believers alike often find it difficult to reconcile the God of the Old Testament with the God of the New Testament. Joshua quickly plunges its readers into deep and difficult theological waters. It is in those precise waters, however difficult to traverse, that priceless pearls pointing to gospel truth can be gripped and gazed upon with wonder at the wisdom of God.
