| Summary: | This book is the fruit of Hall’s doctoral research, and in respect of its subject-matter and the arrangement thereof this is very obvious, but it suffers from none of the defects one sometimes encounters in such work. The methodological introduction is lucid and entirely covers the necessary ground without being tedious in its exhaustiveness, and there is a very brisk survey of other relevant literature; by page 10, we are engaging directly with the text of the Book of Joshua and the exegetical questions it raises. Throughout, Hall’s writing is clear and engaging, not burdened with impenetrable jargon but expounding the issues helpfully for the non-expert and arguing persuasively for worthwhile conclusions. |
