Publisher's note:

Originally written as part of The Expositor’s Bible, this commentary takes the form of a series of essays conducting the reader through the principal events recorded in the Book of Joshua. Preachers will find this a valuable source as it unfolds each event and seeks its application. At the same time it is readable enough to benefit all types of reader. William Blaikie (1820-1899) was a Scottish Presbyterian minister who pastored in the Free Church and served as Professor of Divinity at New College, Edinburgh.
