Understanding the Slaughter of the Canaanites in the Book of Joshua (Paul Hinlicky)
The Biblical Mind
Introduction
Joshua is vulnerable to a pick and choose approach because it becomes exceedingly bloody by the 8th chapter. If you're not thoroughly disgusted at that point with the bloodshed, I think modern readers after the 20th century ought to give up. Even if you try to locate a lot of these place names on a map, a lot of them aren't identified and can't be discovered. It's all very vague and perplexing. And then finally you get to the end of the book and so forth. The result of that I think turns off a lot of READERS.
