Warren Truesdale
This commentary by Richard Hess is smaller than the other two, but it packs a punch. more
Tim Challies
The TOTC and NOTC series have made many appearances on this list of best commentaries; Hess’ volume on Joshua is regarded as one of the best of the entire series. more

It is difficult to recommend a single commentary on Joshua, and this one is not as good as it could be. more
Ligonier Ministries (Keith Mathison)
Like the other commentaries in the NICOT series, this one is slightly more technical in nature than the commentaries mentioned above (although not much more technical than the commentary by Howard). more
