Addresses on the book of Joshua

Throughout this delightful volume, history blends with promise, Old Testament types with present-day applications, so that the always interesting book of Joshua takes on new meaning for our practical everyday lives and for our greater spiritual blessings. "It is very significant," writes Dr. Ironside, "that the name 'Joshua' is the same as the name that our blessed Lord bore here on earth. Jesus is the anglicized Greek form of Joshua. The word Joshua means 'Jehovah our Saviour,' and we may see in this Joshua of the Old Testament, a type of the Jesus of the New Testament." The book of Joshua is the dramatic and readable account of the people of God entering into their inheritance in the promised land. But it is more than merely the historical report of the Israelites reaching their forty-year goal. It serves also as a type of the Christian's attainment of spiritual blessings, as set forth in the Epistle to the Ephesians. Dr. Ironside's clear, thoughtful chapters emphasize both the historical truths and their spiritual applications. Here is both pleasure and profit for every Christian. -- Jacket flap.
