Finishing Joshua
We are planning on finishing Joshua this Sunday. Last Sunday, we stopped at the beginning of chapter 13. Chapter 13 through 23 is devoted to land allotment and is rather tedious to read.
Specifically, we will be looking at chapter 23 to the end of Joshua.
I look forward to hearing what the Lord has to teach us on Sunday.

For Sunday the 23rd
Thanks for a great discussion on Sunday. 6:21 is a tough verse for believers and nonbelievers to digest, and I appreciate that we lingered on this verse for the majority of the class time.
We didn't get to discuss Achan's sin and the concept of sin visiting future generations as much as I think we should have mainly because I tried to cram too much into the final 7 minutes of class. My fault.
On Sunday, I want to briefly clarify/reexplain what the Bible tells us about sin visiting future generations before we move onto the Gibeonite deception and the Sun standing still--an episode that troubles our good friend Galileo in the early 1600s.
My goal is to discuss up to 13:7.
Highlights will include the Book of Jashar (what!?) and did Joshua take all the land or didn't he?!
On Sunday we will discuss up to 13:7.

Joshua
This week we started reading Joshua. Found immediately after the Pentateuch, Joshua outlines in descriptive detail the Israelite's conquest of Canaan as promised by Yahweh to Abraham in Genesis.
We started Joshua by looking at Deuteronomy 7. Here the Deuteronomistic History is outlined: When Israel follows Yahweh, all is well; when Israel strays from Yahweh, all falls apart. The DH governs, and helps us understand, the narrative action that unfolds in Joshua, Samuel and Kings.
In Joshua, we specifically looked at chapters 1-5:12. Here, the story of Rahab is relayed and Joshua prepares troops for battle.
