Chapter by chapter

Joshua 1The book of the crossing opens on the worst possible news — "Moses my servant is dead" — and refuses to let it stop anything: rise, cross the Jordan. Three times Joshua is told to be strong and resolute, and the courage he most needs turns out to be for keeping the scroll, not the sword. Then rations, a marching order, an old promise called in, and the people handing the charge back: "only be strong and resolute."

About the book
