Overview
In 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. Through his death, resurrection, and Spirit-empowered people, Jesus claims the world not by violence but by self-giving love.
Accessible yet substantive, this book is ideal for pastors, seminary students, Bible teachers, and thoughtful lay readers who want to see Scripture with fresh eyes. Readers interested in typology, Christology, biblical theology, mission, or eschatology will find rich insight into how Jesus fulfills Israel's story and how the church participates in his ongoing, Spirit-led conquest--one marked not by domination but by humility, suffering, service, and the transforming power of the gospel.
