Dust to Glory 12

The book of Joshua records the account of the Israelite conquest of Canaan and the

initial fulfillment of the land promises made to the patriarchs. The conquest has been

routinely criticized by scholars as an unnecessary and excessively brutal campaign never

sanctioned by a loving God. Yet Joshua’s campaign into Canaan was indeed a divine mis-

sion bringing judgment on the wicked and glory not to himself but to his holy God. In

this lecture, Dr. Sproul discusses the life of Joshua and the conquest of Canaan.
