PW: Deuteronomy

Loving Obedience to a Loving God.

The book of Deuteronomy is a call to obedience-the proper response to God's
faithfulness and love. Consisting primarily of speeches that Moses gave to the
Israelites shortly before they entered the Promised Land, Moses' words
proclaimed God's covenant faithfulness in hopes of motivating the Israelites to
obey God despite the coming temptation to conform to the Canaanite culture.

The challenges they faced then are remarkably parallel to those facing
Christians today as we grapple with the issue of obedience in a world that
offers other attractive ways of life. We wonder:How can we be faithful to God?
And how do we help our children and the people we lead to be faithful? This
book tells us how Moses tackled these challenges and, as Paul confirms in the
New Testament, Deuteronomy serves as an example.written down for our " instruction (1 Cor. 10:11)."

Ajith Fernando unpacks the relevance of Deuteronomy and captivates us with rich
anecdotes from his thirty-five years of ministry to first-generation Christians
in Sri Lanka. He offers concrete examples of how the truths contained in
Deuteronomy can be applied, and he teaches us that obedience is the necessary
response to the God who loves and saves us.

Out of his broad experience of expounding the Scriptures, Dr. Fernando has " given us a commentary that will appeal to all those who preach the Word. The
work breathes a love for God, a deep understanding of Biblical theology, and a
warmly poignant grasp of human natureùwith its failings and its potentials. His
applications of DeuteronomyÆs teaching are both perceptive and relevant. While
showing an awareness of scholarly treatments, the work is very accessible to
those who do not have scholarly training. It is highly recommended. - " John Oswalt
