Heavenly Places: Addresses on the Book of Joshua
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
In Heavenly Places: Addresses on the Book of Joshua, Stevenson A. Blackwood carefully and intricately weaves the Old Testament book of Joshua into New Testament theology, exploring the Israelites’ conquest and settling of the land through nine motifs that draw us back to the coming Messiah. Each address faithfully examines the people of God in the context of the promise of God, revealing how this redemption story foreshadows the work of the cross.
