  • Punishment and Forgiveness in the Book of Joshua
    Krašovec, Jože, 1944-
    There is general agreement that the main purpose of the book of Joshua is indicated in 1,6-9 and 23,6-16 (cf. Deut 30,19-20). The tribes of Israel were able to conquer the Promised Land because their ... God decided to grive it to them and fought on their side. The Holy God is the only real foundation of Israel's life and hence the only justification of total ob total obedience. There is no forgiveness for apostasy and obstinacy. The major sections of the book (chs. 1 -- 12 and 22 -- 24) show, however, that the conquest of the Land is a result of an unconditional divine promise. The final compiler points to the highly paradoxical ways in which God's providence functions and the divine power manifests itself.
