Description

A new commentary for today's world, The Story of God Bible Commentary explains and illuminates each passage of Scripture in light of the Bible's grand story. Its story-centric approach is ideal for pastors, students, Sunday school teachers, and laypeople alike.

Three easy-to-use sections designed to help readers live out God's story:

  • LISTEN to the Story: Includes complete NIV text with references to other texts at work in each passage, encouraging the reader to hear it within the Bible's grand story
  • EXPLAIN the Story: Explores and illuminates each text as embedded in its canonical and historical setting
  • LIVE the Story: Reflects on how each text can be lived today and includes contemporary stories and illustrations to aid preachers, teachers, and students

The Joshua commentary by scholar and professor Lissa M. Wray Beal, explains and illuminates each passage of the book in light of the Bible's overarching grand story. Wray Beal offers an engaging and probing introduction to the entire book of Joshua, guiding learners in creatively and faithfully living out its messages in today's context. 

Overall, this text breathes life into each passage of the book, examined in its canonical and historical setting, in order to foster discernment in living God's story faithfully and creatively with and for the church in the twenty-first century.
