Praise for the Print Edition

This is a very able and scholar-like contribution to the study of Deuteronomy, an one moreover which is original and interesting in a high degree . . . Dr. Cullen has stated his case in a singularly lucid, modest, and attractive style.

—Hibbert Journal

This latest contribution to the study of the Mosaic epilogue merits the careful attention of all biblical scholars. It possesses at once the contrasted and rarely associated merits of rigorous research and creative imagination. We heartily commend this book to the notice of all students of the Old Testament as a masterly monograph on a specially thorny subject.

—P. H. Aitken, St. Andrew
