· Identify another religious text from a religion other than Christianity.
Another religious text from a religion other than Christianity is Nevi’im which is a scripture from the Hebrew Bible.
· Describe briefly who it was written by and its purpose.
This scripture was written by Joshua. It contains a history of the Israelites from the death of Moses to Joshuas own death. It writes about how Joshua is Moses successor and how he receives the command from God to cross the Jordan river.
· Provide ONE example of the type of writing found within the document.
The book essentially consists of three parts:
1. The history of the conquest of the land (1-12).
2. The allotment of the land to the different tribes, with the appointment of cities of refuge, the provision for the Levites (13-22), and the dismissal of the eastern tribes to their homes.
3. The farewell addresses of Joshua, with an account of his death (23, 24).

There are not many differences between the Nevi`im and the Bible besides the fact that they call Joshua a prophet as he is just reffered to as Jesus disciple in the Bible.
