5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2014

I actually bought this for my husband. He speaks at our church about the Old Testament. He has given a whole series of talks over the years, which he researches carefully and gives only after enjoying the fun of digging in commentaries, online ( seems like everywhere) for corroborative information. This series is one of his favorite sources. He has been getting them from the library, or rather I get them for him. He is just beginning to prepare an in-depth study of Joshua, which is why I bought this particular book from the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pastor in Texas
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2005

A helpful overview of Joshua by a respected authority. Generally helpful on some troublesome passages with good exegesis. The only drawback was that it didn't really deal with some of the questions that I personally--and I presume other pastors--would have liked a broader treatment on. Woudstra does not have a fondness for higher criticism, a factor that too often pervades many commentaries on Joshua. His is a solid if not sterling commentary.

I was very pleased with the tight rope that he walked in holding to the inerrancy of Scripture and intellectual honesty, that often I feel is lost from conservative works.

This is a good commentary on Joshua. I think it's about as good as the NAC commentary by Howard. It's thorough but not overly weighty in scholarly minutia.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb review
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023
This is a superb review of the Book of Joshua highlighting for the reader the many problems therein and helping them understand how Joshua fits into the great scheme. A more technical attempt, Formation and Reformulation: The Redaction of the Book of Joshua in the Light of the Oldest Textual Witnesses
Michael N. van der Meer, isn't nearly as good and is 50% longer. This book is readable and enjoyable. Really a job well done..

5.0 out of 5 stars Good commentary for the introductory student
Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2015
"The Book of Joshua," by M.H. Woudstra, is a good introductory commentary to the sixth book of the Bible. Although it probably won't satisfy the serious OT scholar, it is more than adequate as an introduction to the text and an overview of the book. Like many commentaries in the NICOT, more technical matters are dealt with in footnotes, a practice that allows those who are simply interested in getting a basic feel for the text to not get bogged down in material that may not be relevant to them. Of special value is the introductory material, which comprises approximately the first 40 pages of the commentary. This introduction includes a discussion of authorship and date, occasion, historical background, theology, and other related issues.
