If you plan to preach or teach through Joshua, make sure and purchase this book by Dale Davis right off the bat. It is a great companion volume to David Howard's commentary in the NAC series along with M.H. Woudstra's commentary in the NICOT series. Like all of Davis' other OT commentaries, it is filled with solid exegesis and practical applications--plus his witty, southern writing style makes them a real joy to read. I have preached through I,II Samuel, I,II Kings, and Joshua, and each one of his commentaries has been incredibly helpful. Every conservative pastor and Bible teacher will benefit from Davis' works.
