Joshua Johnson Joshua Johnson was an African-American painter who lived in the Baltimore area. Johnson, often viewed as the first African-American to make a living out of painting in the United States, is well-known for his professional paintings. He was a self-taught painter who worked during the 19th centuries. I thought that focusing on Joshua Johnson, is more interesting because often when the matter of artists in American art history comes up, the focus tends to be on White Americans than on the American artists of color. Joshua Johnson’s paintings were not popular until the year 1939, when they were discovered by art historians, who believed that thirteen portraits were painted by Joshua Johnson.

The Lord leads Israel in conquering the land and judging its wicked inhabitants, and then he distributes the land among the twelve tribes. The book ends with Joshua’s pleas for Israel to remain faithful as God’s people. Judges opens with Israel’s disobedience. They refuse to wage war with unbelief and to purge idolatry from the land. The books of Samuel, named after him, tell of a time of great change within the Israelite nation.
The two movies La Mission directed by Peter Bratt and Sleep Dealer directed by Alex Rivera upon first glance have almost no similarities but under close inspection they share multiple ideas and themes, however, the two movies are still very different and unique. The two movie are similar in the fact that both main characters face a problem that requires action, both characters employ syncretism at least once in each film, both characters are proud of their ancestry, and both are in some form of a borderland. When acknowledging the movies similarities it is also important to identify the things that make the films unique like how the main characters have different relationships with their family and how La Mission doesn’t give any concrete resolution
The book of Nehemiah is a narative history. Nehemiah's great and Godly leadership is used to restore the city of Jerusalem both physically and spiritually.

These examples allow an empathetic relationship between Joshua and Palestine, causing Joshua to run away from his home and create problems within his
Looking back on the last seven months, I can 't help but wonder what things in my life would have been different if I hadn 't met him. I didn 't want to think about it, in fact, I 've been trying to avoid thinking about it. If I hadn 't met him, I would probably be somewhere back in Cali, trying to make a living for myself, not knowing what the next day would bring. I wouldn 't know the feeling of his arms wrapped around me, making me feel like I 'm safe at night. And I definitely wouldn 't have fallen completely and utterly in love with him.
According to Professor Stone’s explanation of the hostilities and violence that occurred in the Old Testament, I would have to personally say that I agree with him. As Professor Stone stated in the video that Canaan was difficult to inhabit for the Hebrews because of the huge presence of violence (Stone, 2013). It became apparent that the scheme of Joshua was unmerciful from the violence that was described. The illustration of the ancient holy war in the Bible possesses attributes of religious disconcert of the enemy. Furthermore, in the book of Joshua, there exists the dramatic fall of the walls of Jericho (Sharp, 2015).

It clearly reveals that Joshua witnessed and wrote the events. The book was written before the death of Rahab. The author of this book had the genius of a general and provides detailed information of Israel’s campaigns. All this evidence shows that Joshua is the composer of the book that bears his name. The book of Joshua was written about 1380 B.C., at the end of conquest of the land of Canaan just before the death of Joshua (Geisler 93, 94).
In the story, Joshua told the twelve israelites, one from each tribe to go grab twelve stones from the middle of the jordan, they were so confused. The only way for them to get the stones is by got parting the jordan, and for God to that they had to trust in God, So the twelve israelites trusted god and he parted the jordan. A connection I have, is when I have to trust God through hard or bad times. One of the times I had to trust God is when my brother Hagirsa started having seizures I was so scared, the first time he had one my mom and dad had to call an ambulance. That day I had to spend the night at my best friends house.
The Book of Numbers – in Hebrew, Bəmidbar, meaning “in the wilderness [of Sinai]” – describes the the Israelites’ long journey in the desert to take possession of God’s promised land. The Jewish Study Bible divides Numbers into three major units based on “geographical criteria” and “ideological motifs”. The first unit spans from Numbers 1.1 to 10.10 and details the Israelites’ encampment at Mount Sinai and their preparation for the long journey. The second unit picks up this narrative and describes the generation‐long march in the desert from Sinai to Moab. The final unit, starting with Numbers 22.2, narrates the encampment on the plains of Moab before entering the promised land of Canaan.
