Joshua
"The book of Joshua is a fascinating piece of ancient literary art. The story is stirring and dramatic, leaving its readers breathless with suspense as they watch the Israelites and their leader prepare for conflict, encounter threats and unexpected obstacles, and finally triumph over their own failures and the hostility of Canaanite groups. The book is theologically powerful, characterizing the covenant people as eager to obey YHWH and their God as one who is mighty to save, a deity who keeps promises from of old and can secure a future of blessing and abundance for those who enjoy divine favor"--

The main focus was on how harmful this book can be if applied wrongly—especially to indigenous Native Americans.
It left me hanging with regard to the explanation of the very existece of the book of Joshua. Who wrote it? When? Why? Even reasonable speculation wcoul be welcome.
