Joshua begins where Deuteronomy leaves off with the Israelites east of the Jordan River ready to enter their promised land. Here are some questions to consider as you read it:

1.We see terrible pictures of war here. Which were the most horrifying to you? Is this genocide?

2. Spies are sent to Jericho. Do you see their activity as showing lack of faith or are they being practical?

3. The battle for Ai is far different than the one for Jericho–explain.

4. We see in chapter 9 that deception and camouflage go way back in history–explain.

5. Good literature can reveal character by the words he/she speaks. What sort of person does Caleb seem to be, based on his comments in chapter 14?

6. Is Joshua presented as another Moses?
