Joshua

Originally published in 1914, this book presents an exhaustive study into the Greek and Hebrew versions of the Book of Joshua. Holmes rejects earlier theories that differences between the texts were due to laziness on the part of scribes or to avoid difficulties in translation, and suggests instead that the Greek writers were working from a Hebrew text that was different from the one we have received. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the transmission of biblical texts or the diversity of biblical manuscripts.
