What are the best commentaries on the book of Joshua from a Reformed perspective?

PRESBYTERIAN THOUGHTS

First Reformed Presbyterian Church

I like Wouldstra and Hess, of the moderns. Of course, Calvin is essential (I am thankful that he actually commented on this book). Howard is useful. I would definitely get the O. Palmer Robertson lectures from WTS bookstore. If you read Latin, then try to get hold of Poole's Synopsis Criticorum (you can download it from EEBO at your seminary, most likely).

I second Lane on Woudstra and Calvin. If you are looking for preaching, don't neglect Pink and James M. Boice.

Besides the aforementioned, and Matthew Henry or Poole's Annotations (the Synopsis translation of Joshua is still a little ways off), also consider William G. Blaikie.

"Let your Morning Thoughts, and your last Evening Thoughts, be what shall become of you to all Eternity." -- Matthew Poole

I like Lange's Commentary, Matthew Henry, and Matthew Poole.

"No Falling Words", by Dale Ralph Davis. Required reading at RTS for Richard Pratt's course, Genesis to Joshua. Very good. Just technical enough, but easy to digest.
