James Gordon McConville is Professor of Old Testament Theology at the University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham, UK.

I am asked from time to time to recommend a book to ministers preparing for a preaching series on a particular biblical book. I will, in future, highly recommend Joshua: An Introduction and Study Guide to anyone enquiring about the book of Joshua for such a purpose … A very valuable and balanced engagement with the key issues raised by the text. The book would also provide a substantial but accessible introduction to the book for undergraduate study.
