The Conquest of Canaan: A Completion of the Exodus

The podcast episode explores the idea that the conquest of Canaan was a completion of the Exodus rather than an unprovoked attack on simple village folk. It argues that the battles were primarily defensive against military superior kings and that Israel was still emerging from under the power of Egypt. The episode highlights the importance of reading the Old Testament with scriptural fluency to better understand the themes and threads throughout. It emphasizes the character of God as merciful and compassionate, and how reading towards Jesus in a Trinitarian manner can provide insight into difficult passages.
