Overview

Deuteronomy is the fifth and arguably the most influential book of the Pentateuch. This text preserves the three addresses Moses delivered to the people of Israel just prior to his death and their entry into the Promised Land. Its name, which means “second law,” represented a reiteration, explication, and, to a degree, expansion, of the sole covenant between God and Israel. Deuteronomy was a reinterpretation of the law designed to meet the needs of a new generation facing a new future. In this volume of the groundbreaking Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series, Old Testament scholar Mark Biddle skillfully leads his readers to consider how these words which might confuse a casual reader are useful to help Christians understand and meet the needs of our own generation as well.
