Reading Deuteronomy: A Literary and Theological Commentary (Reading the Old Testament | RtOT)

A lost treasure for large segments of the modern world, the book of Deuteronomy powerfully repays contemporary readers’ attention. Its gripping discourses and vivid stories stir deep longing for God, move readers to a place of intimacy with the divine, and pushes them toward community. This theological interpretation reveals the centrality of Deuteronomy for faith and powerfully counters critical accusations about violence, intolerance, and polytheism in the book.
