Joshua and the Walls of Jericho
from Houston Chinese Church - English · host Houston Chinese Church
The battle of Jericho is a story familiar to any child who grows up in a Christian home. But a closer look at the narrative reveals details that are more suited to a mature audience. We are told that, after the walls came down, every living thing in Jericho men and women, young and old, and all beasts were slaughtered. How can that be justified?
