About Joshua

Product Description Commentaries by James Montgomery Boice explain the meaning of the biblical text verse by verse and section by section, while also relating the text to the realities of Christian life. This latest addition to Boice's popular expositional commentary series discusses the themes of obedience and love in the context of the life of Joshua, a chosen military commander. Boice's easy-to-understand writing makes Joshua a helpful commentary for pastors, students, and laypeople alike. From the Inside Flap "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord."--Joshua 24:15 Perhaps best known for these familiar words, the book of Joshua is the story of one man's lifetime of service to the Lord not just through obedience but through love, because one without the other, says Boice, is hypocrisy. "If you love God, you will keep his commands. And it goes with that principle that if you attempt to obey these commands and sincerely walk in God's ways, you will find yourself coming to love God more and more." James Montgomery Boice (1938-2000) was senior pastor of Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was also president and cofounder of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, the parent organization of The Bible Study Hour, on which Boice was a speaker for more than thirty years. His many commentaries include The Minor Prophets, Psalms, The Gospel of Matthew, The Gospel of John, Acts, Romans, Ephesians, Daniel, and The Sermon on the Mount. From the Back Cover "The secret of success is to know God's Word, speak about it, meditate on it, and then, above all, do it. In God's world there is no substitute for full obedience." Joshua was a soldier. According to James Montgomery Boice, he was "one of the most extraordinary military commanders of all time." But what sets Joshua apart from his predecessors and successors, says Boice, is his obedience to the Word of God. This insightful commentary follows a chosen commander whose obedience successfully brought him through the Jewish conquest of Canaan. Chapter by chapter and verse by verse, Boice explores the entire book of Joshua, from Joshua's military commissioning to the crossing of the Jordan River, from the Israelite victory at Jericho to the division of Canaan among the twelve tribes, which set the stage for God's people to prosper forever in obedience to him.
