Studies in Joshua

Here are notes on a series of messages Joshua presented at WIBC between 1997 and 1999. Audio is in preparation.

The overall structure of the book is chiastic. The main body consists of the conquest (ch. 5-12) and division (ch. 13-21) of the land, introduced by the death of Moses, exhortation, and a memorial, and closed with the same three elements in reverse order.
