William Garden Blaikie’s The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Joshua is a detailed and insightful commentary on the Old Testament book of Joshua, which recounts the conquest of Canaan and the establishment of Israel in the Promised Land. As part of the Expositor’s Bible series, Blaikie provides both historical context and theological interpretation of the key events in Joshua, including the fall of Jericho, the division of the land among the tribes, and Joshua’s leadership.Blaikie emphasizes the importance of faith, obedience, and divine providence as demonstrated through the actions of Joshua and the Israelites. He interprets the conquest narratives not just as military history, but as an unfolding of God’s covenant with Israel, showing how the events in Joshua serve as a continuation of the promises made to Abraham, Moses, and the previous generations.
