M. A. van der Sluijs, 'Joshua's Celestial Miracle Was not an Eclipse: The Long and the Short', Culture and Cosmos; A Journal of the History of Astrology and Cultural Astronomy, 23. 1 (2019), 21-69

NOTE: In this article I oppose the proposal by Humphreys & Waddington that the Biblical miracle of Joshua's halting the sun and moon involved an annular eclipse. An earlier version was rejected for publication in the journal Vetus Testamentum on 12 July 2018 on the curious ground that Humphreys & Waddington's suggestion had not reached the wider public and is so obviously wrong that most readers would not need a detailed refutation of it. Imagine my surprise, then, upon learning that this same journal on 17 January 2020 accepted an article in defence of the eclipse scenario. The editor who was in charge of reviewing my submission at the time clarified that this latter article had been reviewed by a different editor. While I am not accusing anyone of malfaisance in this matter, it does highlight the randomness of peer review or bias of the journal as a whole and the need to repudiate the eclipse interpretation. Meanwhile, I congratulate the authors of the rival article with their publication and welcome the discussion.
