NIVAC 04: Deuteronomy

In Deuteronomy Daniel Block highlights the unity between the God depicted in
Deuteronomy and Jesus Christ. He accomplishes this by examining the book - as
all volumes in this series do--from a historical, theological, and practical
lens.

Arranged as a series of sermons, the book of Deuteronomy represents the final
major segment of the biography of Moses. The sermons review events described in
earlier books and challenges Israel to faithful living in the future.

The theological significance of Deuteronomy cannot be overestimated. Few books
in the Bible proclaim such a relevant word of grace and gospel to the church
today. At its heart, Deuteronomy records the covenantal relationship between
God and his people. God graciously has chosen Israel as his covenant partner
and has demonstrated his covenantal commitment to them. Moses challenges the
Israelites to respond by declaring that Yahweh alone is their God and by
demonstrating unwavering loyalty and total love for him through obedience.

This commentary is very accessible. Those with formal theological training will
find it compelling, while others will find it challenging but digestible. It is
excellent for a full-rounded study of Scripture from both a knowledge stand
point and for devotional appreciation.
