the conquest of canaan
DESCRIPTION
http://www.tomrichey.net This PowerPoint presentation was created to accompany a lecture and discussion about the Israelite conquest of Canaan in the Book of Joshua. It is the first in a series of lessons about ancient Israel evolving from a nomadic tribal confederation into a regional power ruled by hereditary kings. Joshua, the successor of Moses, led the conquest of Canaan in the Biblical book that bears his name. Under Joshua's leadership, Israel conquered Jericho, Ai, and several other Canaanite city-states and established a presence of the Israelite tribes in the land they believed to have been promised to them by Yahweh. Throughout their conquest, Israelites practiced indiscriminate slaughter of men, women, children, and animals in every city that they destroyed. Joshua's command that the sun stand still during the Battle of Gibeon serves as a great platform for a discussion of biblical cosmology, as such a command would cause much more complication by the standards of a modern view of the universe. At the end of Joshua's life, the conquest of Canaan remained incomplete and Israel had not established full sovereignty over the land formerly known as Canaan. A few hundred years would pass before the Israelites would become the dominant power in the region.TRANSCRIPT
