Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview, Steve Gregg discusses the book of Joshua, which covers the history of Israel from the time of Moses’ death to the Babylonian exile in 586 BC. Joshua was chosen by God to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land and his leadership and obedience to God's commands were essential in their conquest of Canaan. The book emphasizes the importance of faith in God and the consequences of disobedience, as well as the distinction between God's orders to Joshua and modern jihadist movements.
