Excerpt from A Commentary, Critical, Experimental, and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments, Vol. 2

The title of this book is derived from the name of the pious and valiant leader who presided over the interests of Israel at that period. It does not purport to be a full biographical memoir of that eminent individual, recounting all his public acts and his gallant achievements; nor does it undertake to narrate in regular chronological order all the events that signalized the entrance of the Israelites into Canaan. The leading design of the book is to exhibit the Divine power and faithfulness in the rapid and secure introduction of Israel into the promised land; and as Joshua was appointed leader and commander of the people in that great enterprise, the main object in narrating the military campaigns, and afterwards the political and ecclesiastical measures, of that faithful, patriotic ruler, was to show how fully the promise of God to their patriarchal ancestors had been fulfilled in the experience of their descendants.
