About this listen

With Moses dead, Israel stands on the threshold of the Promised Land, looking to Joshua for leadership. Join Logos Bible Study as Dr. Bill Creasy takes us across the Jordan River and into the land of “milk and honey” in a brutal conquest - a campaign of extermination that raises profound moral and ethical questions in its day, as well as in ours.

Editorial reviews

Dr. Bill Creasy of Logos Bible Study uses a literary, historical approach to examine and enliven the bible for modern listeners. Dr. Creasy draws on his studies, travels, and personal anecdotes to depict a vivid picture of the works of scripture. Somewhere between a sermon and a college lecture, he delivers these audiobooks with authority but a pleasantly friendly voice and a touch of fun, using contemporary references.

In this lesson, Dr. Creasy discusses the hardships that Joshua overcomes in leading the Israelites into Canaan and conquering Jericho in the Book of Joshua. As Dr. Creasy puts it, there were no satellites for intel so they had to figure out other forms of reconnaissance.

the ending comments alone are worth the price

Like other Logos Bible Study audible books, this one has Dr. Creasy reading and commenting on scriptures. He uses history and archaeological findings to talk about certain events. He also addresses the violence, which can make the book of Joshua hard to read / understand. Dr. Creasy's ending comments link this OT book to the NT in a way I had not heard of before.

Easy work of a tough book

It's not an easy job to take people down the bloody book of Joshua and successfully out the other side, but Dr. Creasy did it. As always he brings in historical and scriptural context to help you better understand the book. He also brings in humor and modern day analogies.

He’s a good story teller.

I appreciate how descriptive the narrator is, but I found his comments about how he would act as a Jericho dweller unsettling. Specifically, he mentioned that he would have attacked the people of God at 2 a.m. while they were obeying God with circumcision. He related this to the biblical story of Jacob’s sons avenging their sister’s rape by tricking the men of Shechem into being circumcised and then slaughtering them while they were recovering.

While I understand the humor and cleverness in his analogy, it highlights the fallibility of man. It’s important to remember that the people he’s referring to were under God’s protection. As the Bible says, “When your ways please the Lord, even your enemies will be at peace with you.” The fear of the Israelites by their enemies is a testament to God’s protection.

Additionally, the example he used led to Levi and Simeon being cursed for their actions, suggesting that using one’s cleverness for such purposes can lead to negative consequences. Given that the narrator serves in a Levitical priesthood, this point feels particularly relevant and ironic.

Overall, while his approach was clever, it raises questions about the appropriateness of his analogies and the messages they convey.

Details

By giving cultural and historical context Creasy gives the characters life and brings you along as an observer to the story.
Referencing related scriptural texts provides evidence to support that scripture is a unified text.
