Every Christian believer would benefit spiritually by using this book to aid his or her study of the Bible. It will be of great benefit to all preachers and teachers of the God’s word, and I thoroughly recommend it'' says Michael Bentley. Clearly the central theme of the book of Joshua is the truth that God is a promise-keeper. The fulfilment of God''s promise of a land for Abraham''s descendants is central to the book. He begins the book with it and brings to closure Joshua''s final charge to Israel''s leaders with it. The truth that God fulfilled his promise of a land for Israel also has great implications for the believer today, and that is one of the great applications of the book of Joshua. John Currid writes as a pastor and uses his learning as a Professor of OT to skilfully apply the meaning of the text to ordinary Christians.
