Deuteronomy: Law and Covenant

Více o knize

Focusing on Moses as the archetypal prophet, this exploration of Deuteronomy highlights its significance within the Pentateuch, particularly as a foundational text on law and covenant. It emphasizes the Deuteronomic Code, conveyed to Israel in Moab before their entry into Canaan, and reaffirms the Ten Commandments. The book is attributed to a Levitical priest from the late eighth or early seventh century BC, who adopts Moses's voice. It concludes with ancient poems and the narrative of Moses's death and burial.
