Deuteronomy: Audio Lectures Part 1 (audio)
Digital
Overview
The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook’s direct narration of a book’s text, Deuteronomy: Audio Lectures Part 1 include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources. Arranged as a series of sermons given by Moses, the book of Deuteronomy represents the final major segment of the biography of Moses. These sermons review past events described in Genesis through Numbers and challenge Israel to faithful living as they look forward to life in the Promised Land. The theological significance of Deuteronomy cannot be overestimated. Few books in the Bible proclaim such a relevant word of grace and gospel to the church today. At its heart, Deuteronomy celebrates the covenantal relationship between God and his people. God has graciously chosen Israel as his covenant partner and has faithfully demonstrated his covenantal commitment to them. Moses challenges the Israelites to respond by declaring that Yahweh alone is their God and by demonstrating unwavering loyalty and total love for him through obedience. Deuteronomy: Audio Lectures Part 1 features scholar Daniel I. Block teaching through the book of Deuteronomy in 60 short and engaging lessons. A companion to Block’s Deuteronomy commentary in the NIV Application Commentary series, these lessons explore the links between the Bible and our own times that reveal the enduring relevance of Deuteronomy for our twenty-first-century lives. In Deuteronomy: Audio Lectures Part 1, Daniel Block teaches through the book of Deuteronomy passage-by-passage, examining its relevant word of grace and gospel for the church today. These lessons help listeners grasp the message of Deuteronomy and the powerful impact it can have today.

Dr. Daniel Block, professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College, has been teaching God’s Word for more than 30 years.
It has been a special joy for Dr. Block to watch students, who often take introductory courses in Old Testament only because they are required to do so by the curriculum, suddenly awaken to the fact that the Old Testament is understandable and its message is both life-giving and relevant for modern, everyday life.
Dr. Block has published a number of books and essays in scholarly journals. The paradigm for his research and ministry is set by Ezra, as described in Ezra 7:10: he committed himself to the study the Torah of Yahweh, to put it into practice, and to teach his revealed will in Israel. This means constantly asking serious questions of the Scriptures: What does the text say? Why does the text say it like that? What did the text mean to the original audience? What does the text have to say to me today? In order to answer these questions, one needs to understand both the worlds out of which the biblical texts arose and the worlds in which modern people live.
