This commentary on Deuteronomy, now available in a new casebound
edition, meets and exceeds the high standards of the Old Testament
Library series. It provides one of the most sophisticated
explanations of the compositional process that produced
Deuteronomy, presenting that process as a combination of
large-scale redactional activity and "micro- redaction." The
commentary is also attentive to the historical background of
Deuteronomy's origins in the reigns of Manasseh and Josiah. The
fresh translation that heads each section is followed by insightful
linguistic comments that highlight Deuteronomy's famous homiletical
and didactic style. The literary and rhetorical features of the
final form of Deuteronomy are everywhere present, and Nelson makes
a compelling presentation of their incessant claim on the reader, a
claim that effectively urges the reader toward an appropriate
response. What emerges most clearly from these elements of Nelson's
commentary is a critical but sympathetic portrait of Deuteronomy's
distinctive theology: its idealistic call for reform, its demand
for the centralization of sacrifice, its demand for the eradication
of rival religions, its stress on Yahweh's election of Israel and
Israel's covenant duty, and its confrontation of every serious
reader with a moment of existential decision.
