The book of Joshua has many inconsistencies and tensions. The author's analysis of the two plots in the book of Joshua challenges the reader to consider the tensions between dogma and life as it was experienced when the book was written. L. Daniel Hawk draws upon contemporary theories of plot (Kermode, Ricoeur, and especially Brooks) to understand Joshua. He pays special attention to the dynamic quality of the text and of the act of reading. He uncovers patterns of coherence and dissonance that work through and develop the primary concerns of Joshua: the obedience of Israel and the integrity of its land and people. In this valuable book, new ground is broken in the study of the book of Joshua.

Neville Goddard's Interpretation of Scripture

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Neville deciphered the Bible in such a way that the truth can be revealed for the first time. Many people who appreciate the old familiar verses of Scripture become disheartened when they try to read the Bible like any other book because they do not realise that the Bible is written in symbolic language. They twist their brains over it for a time before giving up, not realising that all of its characters are personifications of mental rules and functions; that the Bible is psychology rather than history.

Trusting God's Timing
Author: Steven Stoffelsen
Publisher: Word Alive Press
ISBN: 1486614019
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Many times Christians excitedly receive a promise or vision from God. From that moment forward, they want to tell the whole world what God is going to do in and through them. It’s so exciting to have a promise from God. The Bible says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). But when God gives us a promise or vision, it takes time to see it fulfilled. Rarely is the vision for tomorrow or even the next year. It’s for a certain time set by God. He shows it to you early, but He still wants to prepare you for the journey ahead. Many Christians get discouraged during this process and walk away from God. But so many people in the Bible—like Abraham, Joseph, and David—had to go through years of preparation before they saw their visions fulfilled. They waited a long time, probably longer than most of us. Be encouraged and don’t let a thing called time destroy you before you even start. God is for you, and what He’s promised He will bring to pass.

Max Lucado's first book that journeys from the birth of Christ to His resurrection.

It is the question that has echoed down through the centuries to us today, and here is a visually stunning book that answers aspects of that question.
