Syllabus for the Study of Joshua
Joshua Course Objectives:
Four Soils Ministry third Bible study course ends with the study of Joshua. This completes the Old Testament study series that move the student from Genesis to Joshua and cover the Torah (five books by Moses), plus Joshua. By including Joshua we get the complete story of how the exodus of Israel from Egypt ends with Joshua leading the nation of Israel into the promise land.
The book of Joshua is needed to complete the exodus story of the physical nation of Israel. It is also needed to complete the spiritual story of man moving from being created a sinner, through the stages of salvation and sanctification.
Four Soils Ministry Bible School's courses all center upon the view that the Bible as one message and that is “Jesus and Him crucified”. As we study Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua we will continue that focus.
The following are the ten lessons Bible Study lessons that make up our story of the nation of Israel moving from Mount Sinai to the promise land. The Bible study of Joshua will cover their failures in the wilderness, their crossing the Jordan and claiming the promise land. The Bible study of Joshua ends with Joshua’s challenge to the nation to reminding them to be faithful to Jehovah, the one who delivered them from bondage.
