Joshua - what a book!
It is a necessary bridge between the Law of Moses and the rest of Israel's history. It magnifies the faithfulness and power of God.
It runs from the epic crossing of the Jordan to the final conquest of the land, this being seen as a vivid and graphic picture of claiming our rich inheritance in Christ. It shows that they could only get into the land of victory and fullness through crossing Jordan, the 'river of death', this being a picture of our dying with Christ and rising with him to a new and abundant resurrection life. It reveals the reasons for their failures and shows obedience and faith to be the basis for their victories.

That in essence is its objective to confront men and women with the necessity of integrity, purity and victory through obedience and faith.
