In this outstanding commentary, Gordon McConville offers a
theological interpretation of the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy
in the context of the biblical canon. He gives due attention to
historical issues where these bear on what can be known about the
settings in which the text emerged. His dominant method is one that
approaches Deuteronomy as a finished work. Dr McConville argues
that in the context of the ancient world, Deuteronomy should be
understood as the radical blueprint for the life of a people, at
the same time both spiritual and political, and profoundly
different from every other social, political and religious
programme. The book incorporates the tension between an open-ended
vision of a perfectly ordered society under God, and practical
provisions for dealing with the frailty and imperfections of real
people. Hence, it is capable of informing our thinking about the
organisation of societies while maintaining a vision of the kingdom
of God.
