Stories and Songs: From Joshua to Song of Songs
Israel's Historical Narrative
The nation of Israel tells its story of the rise of kings not once but twice (Joshua–2 Kings, 1–2 Chronicles); and during this period, they wrote Psalms and gathered together their wise sayings.
The Exile and Reflection
Then, plunged into the darkness of exile, they had to discover again who God was and what kind of life he called them to live.
Christian Perspective
In the same way, Christians read these texts today for what they share about a promised Messiah and how they explain what life with God looks like in all its complexity.
