Deuteronomy, Thomas Mann notes, is more than a relic of ancient
history. It is a living document that deals with issues that have
relevance for the modern-day reader, including justice and the
vision of the Great Society, individual responsibility versus the
importance of community, and the nature of loyalty to God and to
the world. By examining these and other issues, readers will draw
striking parallels between the world of Israel several millennia
ago and today. This absorbing and readable book will stimulate
discussion about the Deuteronomistic prescriptions for a healthy
society and their applicability to contemporary life and society.
