Numbers-Joshua: The Tragedy of Fear and the Glory of Faith is a study of contrasts. Israel’s fear prevented them from entering the land God promised to give them, resulting in the story of wandering and death recorded in Numbers. In contrast, the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua record the preparation and triumph of faith as the people allowed God to win the Promised Land for them.

An excellent tool for easier understanding of the Old Testament.
DanvyThis course has been very helpful for me to understand the historical and geographical backgrounds of Deuteronomy and Joshua. It also helped me to re-think those books in terms of God’s authority and covenant.

MasayoshiThis is a great work. thumbs up. I only humbly suggest that to aid students the right answers should be given after the exams where the students got it wrong.
StephenI enjoyed the course, especially lesson three on the book of Joshua. The quizzes prepared me for the test, which was actually easier than the quizzes.
CynthiaThe lectures are very helpful, but I had trouble keeping up with the section on archaeology. The lecturer talked very fast and presented a lot of information that was somewhat technical for this study.
