Volume 5, Joshua, of The New American Commentary is for those who have been seeking a commentary that honors the Scriptures, represents the finest in contempory evangelical scholarship, and lends itself to the practical work of preaching and teaching. This series serves as a minister's friend and a student's guide.The New American Commentary assumes the inerrancy of Scripture, focuses on the intrinsic theological and exegetical concerns of each biblical book, and engages the range of issues raised in contemporary biblical scholarship. Drawing on the skills and insights of over forty scholars and encompassing forty volumes, the NAC brings together scholarship and piety to produce a tool that enhances and supports the life of the church.

    Tell us a little about yourself.  I am Professor of Old Testament at Bethel Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota. You may see more about me at my Web site at www.bethel.edu/~dhoward

    What was your motivation behind this project?  I was asked by the publisher to write this commentary. I wanted to expound the text of the book of Joshua so that pastors and laypeople could know it, understand it, love it, and apply it.

    What do you hope folks will gain from this project?  I hope they will catch a vision of the God exalted in this wonderful Biblical book.

    Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know:  I hope readers will gain much from this work. The feedback I have gotten from pastors, students, and colleagues who have used it is that the book is very easy to read, even though it is written by a Biblical scholar and gets very technical at times. The technical matters are confined to the footnotes or to separate excursuses, however, so readers can skip these if they like.
