A fascinating book made newly available to the public in this affordable 2015 edition, Joshua: A Man of the Finger Lakes Region is a gripping story that sheds light on the beginnings of one of America's most indomitable titans of industry, John D. Rockefeller.
John D. Rockefeller is known the world over as a legendary industrialist and entrepreneur. But despite his immense celebrity, precious little is known about his humble origins, and even less about the man who gave him his name--William Rockefeller.William "Big Bill" Rockefeller is a man whose personal and professional life were shrouded in mystery. What is known known for certain is less than savory, and his son, after achieving global recognition for his economic success, did all he could to suppress the truth about his father's seedy--when not outright criminal--behavior. One of the few sources of information on Big Bill is this book. Written in 1927, it is a thinly veiled roman clef detailing William Rockefeller's exploits as a bigamist and snake-oil salesman who lied, cheated, and stole his way through life.The tales Charles Brutcher sets forth in the pages of this book come to us by way of Melvin Rosekrans, whose father, Joshua, tangled with Big Bill in the 1840s. And though the wise reader will take the information presented here with a grain of salt (for it is almost certain that lore and hyperbole are woven between the facts), enough details line up with established historical sources to lend the stories in this book far more than the mere patina of authenticity. Furthermore, it is said that one of the reasons--perhaps the sole reason--that original editions of this book are so rare, is that the esteemed founder of Standard Oil himself actively suppressed its publication, perhaps fearing that the truth about his father would tarnish his reputation. A fascinating book made newly available to the public in this affordable 2015 edition, Joshua: A Man of the Finger Lakes Region is a gripping story that sheds light on the beginnings of one of America's most indomitable titans of industry.

The book of Joshua memorializes a transitional episode in Israel's national history. The heroic figure Joshua leads the new generation of Israel across the Jordan and into the land of promise, conquering Canaanites and overseeing the allotment of the inheritance among the tribes.
The book of Joshua presents a number of interpretative problems. On the basis of literary studies and archaeology, some have claimed that the book is a product of a much later age than the one it portrays and does not reflect actual events. Another important issue is how it should be read as Christian Scripture, given that it describes at least a partial annihilation of indigenous people groups. Related to this today is the ongoing struggle over essentially the same piece of land that is described in Joshua. To address these and other issues, Pekka Pitkanen reads Joshua in its Ancient Near Eastern context. He makes extensive comparisons with relevant contemporary literature and includes an archaeological survey of all places mentioned in the Masoretic text. He argues that Joshua helps conclude the pentateuchal tradition and is best understood as a conquest document originating from the Late Bronze-Early Iron Age that helps define Israelite identity in Yahwistic terms and promulgates Yahwism in Israel as the exclusive religious ideology. In application, he engages with genocide studies and reflects on theodicy and the use and abuse of power.
The story of Joshua is accurately retold from the bible (from the book of Joshua). The Bibletime series by Carine Mackenzie have been praised for their accurate retelling of great bible stories. This timeless collection has been printed in many languages throughout the world and sold in their millions. They can be read over and over again.
The book of Joshua stands between the Pentateuch and the story of Israel in its land. It recounts the familiar traditions of the conquest of Canaan, and details the portions of territory allotted to the tribes. But how is the book of Joshua to be related to the neighbouring biblical books? To what extent does it contain history?-or geography?-or theology? How should it be understood in the light of archaeological discoveries, or recent studies of the emergence of Israel? How might it read as piece of literature? This study guide offers an introduction to the contents of the book and a survey of the scholarly views about nature and purpose. The key to understanding the book should be sought not so much in the field of history as of theology.
