  • Commentary on Joshua
    Commentary on Joshua Author(s): Calvin, John (1509-1564) Calvin, Jean (1509-1564) (Alternative) Beverridge, Henry (Translator) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: In this volume, John Calvin provides an instructive comment- ary on the book of Joshua. Regarded as one of the Reform- ation©s best interpreters of scripture, Calvin is an apt com- mentator. In particular, he frequently offers his own transla- tions of a passage, explaining the subtleties and nuances of his translation. He has a penchant for incorporating keen pastoral insight into the text as well. He always interacts with other theologians, philosophers, commentators, and portions of the Bible when interpreting a particular passage. Calvin©s Commentary on Joshua is instructive, engaging, and lively.

Benedict & Co., Stereotypers and Printer*^ No. 16 Spruce street, N V, INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORICAL BOOKS IN GENERAL. That portion of the Old Testament which contains the history of the affairs of the Jewish nation, from the death of Moses to its conquest by the Chaldeans, is comprised in the books of Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. These, in the Hebrew classification, are termed the For- mer Prophets. The title Prophets is giv^en them on the ground of the general belief, that they were written under the prompting of a Divine impulse ; and the epithet Former is applied in reference to the place which they occupy in the Sacred Canon, as preceding the books of the Latter Prophets, an appellation bestowed upon those whose character is more s^inclXj prophetical, viz., Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the twelve Minor Prophets.

  • The Book of JOSHUA INTRODUCTION 1
    The Book of JOSHUA INTRODUCTION 1. Title. The title of the book is taken from the name of the successor of Moses, Joshua, the son of Nun, of the tribe of Ephraim. He was at first called Hoshea‘, transliterated Hoshea or Oshea (Deut. 32:44; Num. 13:8, 16), which signifies “savior” or “salvation.” According to v. 16, Moses changed his name to Yehoshua‘, Jehoshua, by prefixing the abbreviated form for Jehovah (Yahweh) to Joshua’s former name. It now signified “salvation of [or by] Jehovah.” Joshua is merely a shortened form for Jehoshua, the form always found in the Hebrew Old Testament. In the LXX he is called Iesous huios Naue, “Jesus, son of Naue [Nun].” In the New Testament he is expressly called Iesous, Jesus (Acts 7:45; Heb. 4:8). The ASV has “Joshua” in both references. Christ and the Jews recognized three divisions in the Old Testament: the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms, or Writings (Luke 24:44). Joshua is the first book in the second division, called “the Prophets” in Hebrew Bibles, because its author occupied the office of prophet. In Hebrew Bibles the section entitled “the Prophets” is divided into two parts: the Former Prophets, comprising Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings, and the Latter Prophets, comprising those we commonly know as the Prophets. Thus Joshua stands as the first book of the Prophets, although in content it is closely related to the Pentateuch, known to the Jews as the Law. 2. Authorship. Commentators and critics are divided in opinion as to whether the book was actually compiled by Joshua.
