摘要
This essay seeks to engage the narrative art of the book of Joshua in ways that may prove valuable for contemporary communities of faith. The argument draws on the feminist and postcolonial critical tradition for defining insights about the construction of the subject, the interrogation of power dynamics, and the reformation of community. The essay then explores Joshua's representations of authority and its use of liminal moments in Israel's narrative of conquest in order to suggest possible avenues of appropriation by contemporary readers.
