Overview

Deuteronomy forms the foundation for much of the Old and New Testaments. It provides an overview of the Exodus experience, reminding the Israelites that the Lord is the one who formed them, brought them out of Egypt, and provided them with the Promised Land. In this commentary J. Edward Owens highlights the key motifs and themes in this book of instruction: land, the theologies of love, remembering/forgetting, time, retribution, the Divine Name, the Lord as warrior, the Ten Commandments, and the great Shema. Deuteronomy reminds us that we are a communal people who are called to always remember the love of the Lord.
