Approximately eighty per cent of scholars are said to agree that that the Conquest of the Land did not take place as described in Joshua, so there is a near-consensus that the book could not have been written as an accurate history by a participant in that history.
Instead, scholars believe that the Book of Joshua was written by the 'D' (Deuteronomist) source as part of the Deuteronomic history - which includes the Books of Joshua, Judges, 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings, and covers the assumed conquest of Canaan through to the end of the kingdom of Judah and the beginning of the Babylonian Exile. TheDeuteronomist composed the history in Jerusalem during the reign of King Josiah.
