Open publisher page 0 citations
Abstract
The presentation of the conquest in the book of Joshua has often been a source of questioning. Ever since elements of doubt were introduced, the scriptural presentation has been upheld by means of a reconstruction of the original events. In this study we attempt to redirect our attention away from the original events to the book itself, with a view to ascertain how the author himself might have read his composition.
