Jesus as the New Joshua

Jesus as the New JoshuaIn Jesus as the New Joshua, Mark J. Keown uncovers a largely overlooked biblical pattern that reframes Jesus's identity and mission through the lens of Israel's great conqueror. Tracing the parallels between Joshua, son of Nun, and Jesus, the Son of God from divine naming and Spirit anointing to covenant renewal, conquest, and promised rest Keown shows that the Gospels and Acts intentionally portray Jesus as initiating a new and cruciform conquest.

He illuminates the catechetical and liturgical scaffolding that informed patristic biblical theology
