Utilizing both a materialist and literary reading of the the text, Brueggemann explores one of the bloodiest chapters of the bible, Joshua 11. Some of the questions he considers: How are these texts of violence to be understood as revelation? What is it that is disclosed? How shall this disclosure be received as serious, authoritative, and binding as the only rule for life and faith? inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"To pursue the matter of "revelation in context," I will address an exceedingly difficult text in the Old Testament, Joshua 11. The reason for taking up this text is to deal with the often asked and troublesome question: What shall we do with all the violence and bloody war that is done in the Old Testament in the name of Yahweh? The question reflects a sense that these texts of violence are at least an embarrassment, are morally repulsive, and are theologically problematic in the Bible, not because they are violent, but because this is violence either in the name of or at the hand of Yahweh." -from chapter 2 Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Also I am not sure that his situating of the sociological rationale of the text within the narative time (13th century) rather than within the time when the text was probably written (7th or 6th century) is the ideal way of aproaching the texts. In that sens Lori Rowlett's 'Joshua and the Rhetoric of Violence' is much more convincing. ( )
