Item Description...
This exposition is rooted first in a thorough analysis of the Hebrew text, employing helpful insights from archaeology and linguistics and second in the major theological and literary themes discovered in each section. Finally the author brings the fragments together in an expository treatment that is not ashamed to stoop to the level of application. |

 | A commentary that's an enjoyable read -- imagine that! Jul 26, 2007 |
| This is a well-written, informative commentary on a generally under-appreciated and ignored book of the Bible. Davis brings the text to life with his keen observations and engaging writing. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand the Bible better, but finds normal heady theological prose too inaccessible. | | | | The best Aug 11, 2005 |
I have used all of Dale Ralph Davis' commentaries (Judges, Joshua, I Sam., II Sam., I Kgs) -- every one of them is consisently excellent. In fact, if I had just one commentary on each of thsoe books I'd select Davis.
Davis is a former Old Testament seminary professor, with a PhD., but has also been a pastor (Presbyterian PCA) for many years. These are all non-technical, unfootnoted, homiletical treatments. They are theologically rich, always Christocentric (or at least Christo-telic), well-illustrated, and relentlessly practical. Davis can turn a clever phrase like no other commentator, often tweaking a cliche to turn it on its head. Indispensible.
I was shocked that fellow PCAer Tremper Longman did not even include any Ralph Davis books in his survey of commentaries (though Longman analyzes lots and lots of inferior works).
I have two copies of each of Davis' commentaries (one for home, one for the office).
I have not really found other works on Joshua nearly as helpful. James M. Boice (1991) is solid but dry. Woudstra in teh fine NICOT series is scholarly, more technical, and reliable; Peter Jeffrey (1999 is decent, but somewhat moralistic; John A. Huffman (1986, Word Communicator's Comm.) was disappointing. | | | Write your own review about Joshua: No Falling Words (Focus on the Bible)
