How and why did a beautiful “harlot” help Joshua conquer the idol-worshipping, walled Canaanite city of Jericho soon after the formerly enslaved Hebrews crossed the River Jordan? Surely a guardian angel must have been at her side.
Elizabeth Murphy’s The Faithful Harlot: During the Collapse of the Bronze Age, 1251 BCE to 1240 BCE, is based on the Hebrew Bible, various religions’ oral and written traditions, and the latest works of historians, archeologists, and theologians. The book follows the Canaanites on their Exodus from paganism to belief in a loving, singular Creator God.
Murphy will discuss the book with Dorianne Villani, who will serve as the moderator, answer questions, and sign books.
