purely Old Testament inspired interpretation would suggest that violence can be, and often is a widely accepted practice in the eyes of God. “The Book of Joshua”, is a particularly good example of the war theology found throughout the Old Testament as it is an account of the Israelites conquests at the behest of God.

of the Book of Deuteronomy, God’s promise to the Israelites to reach the Promise Land of Canaan was not accomplished due to Moses’ death.
