We can see several factors in Joshua chapter 9 which Joshua and the people used in coming to the conclusion that they should make a treaty with the Gibeonites. We can call the totality of those factors, just for convenience, an “information complex.”
Last week we looked at “expert opinion” and “personal
experience.” Here are three more: “empathy,” “risk
assessment,” and “personal confidence in the ability to
assess a situation.”
What are the details in Joshua 9 that fit in these three categories?
I have asked Latayne Scott to compose these questions for discussion on this important topic. KL
