Description
Joshua to Chronicles surveys the rich literature of the Old Testament books Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I and II Samuel, I and II Kings, and I and II Chronicles. Campbell argues that while these books may appear historical, they are more theological--better understood as Israel's efforts to interpret their people's experience. The book is helpfully structured with overview and review sections.

The Catholic Biblical Quarterly (Vol. 67, Fall 2005, pgs. 676-678) "I found [Campbell's] treatment to always be clear and well organized. This work is rich in material for theological thought and offers a fine explication of the text." Mark A. Throntveit, Luther Seminary
