How do we know Joshua wrote the Book of Joshua?

Answered in 1 source

The Book of Joshua is traditionally attributed to Joshua, as it contains records of his leadership and is endorsed by later biblical writers.

While there are conjectures about the authorship of the Book of Joshua, it is widely accepted that Joshua himself wrote the majority of the book detailing the events that occurred during his leadership of Israel. The references in the New Testament, particularly in the Epistle to the Hebrews, affirm Joshua’s authorship and the significance of his writings. It is acknowledged that while Joshua wrote the account, the closing chapters may have been completed by another, ensuring the narrative reflects his life and leadership accurately.
