Was the Conquest of Canaan a Genocide?
The conquest of Canaan in the book of Joshua is one of the most controversial parts of the Bible. And for many Christians, it’s one of the toughest things to explain.

And we’ll look at the context and the historical data to bring more clarity and understanding to what actually happened.
