The historical books: Joshua, Judges, Samuel and Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther describe what happened when the Israelites arrived in Canaan. They are interpreted as the fulfillment of ancient prophecies given to the patriarchs and matriarchs of the people; and as these narratives reveal a unique theology, in which divine mercy plays a main role.
More than merely historical documents, which describe what happened when the Israelites arrived in Canaan, a sober analysis of these narratives reveals important theological perspectives, which are notably based on the theology included in the book of Deuteronomy.
This book is a sober, balanced, accessible and understandable interpretation of the message of the historical books, narratives that were understood as an extraordinary manifestation of divine mercy.
An added value of this study is the peculiar personality of its author. A recognized expert in Bible and Theology and at the same time a professor of Bible and Hebrew literature at Dar al-Kalima University College in Israel. This qualifies him for a perfect cultural symbiosis in the interpretation and practical application to contemporary society of today's churches and believers.
