  Additional Info
  Perhaps no Old Testament episode is more troubling than the conquest of Canaan. “Destroy everything” is the byword of holy war. This is genocide. Or is it? Do we too quickly set a contemporary overlay on these ancient texts? This book takes us into the lost world of these texts, recalibrates our understanding and reshapes our conversations.
