This milestone commentary by Jack Lundbom is intended for any and
all readers who want to better know and understand the key
Pentateuchal book of Deuteronomy, which has had a huge influence on
both Judaism and Christianity over the centuries. For Jews
Deuteronomy contains the Decalogue and the Shema -- -Hear, O
Israel, the Lord our God is one- (6:4) -- supplemented by a code of
primal legislation. Deuteronomy is much cited in the New Testament
and has come to occupy an important place in the life and doctrine
of the Christian church. It lifts up important wisdom themes such
as humane treatment and benevolence to the poor and needy and is
rich in theology, calling repeatedly on Israel to reject other gods
and worship the Lord alone as holy. Besides drawing on language,
archaeology, and comparative Near Eastern material, Lundbom's
commentary employs rhetorical criticism in explicating the biblical
text. Lundbom also cites later Jewish interpretation of the book of
Deuteronomy and makes numerous New Testament connections. An
appendix contains all citations of Deuteronomy in the New
Testament.
