The Gospel According to Moses
Theological and Ethical Reflections on the Book of Deuteronomy.
To many people the law stands in opposition to the gospel. While it may be
possible to read Paul's epistles this way, the book of Deuteronomy will not
allow this reading. Like the book of Romans in the New Testament, Deuteronomy
provides the most systematic and sustained presentation of theology in the Old
Testament. And like the Gospel of John, it represents mature theological
reflection on God's great acts of salvation, in this case associated with the
exodus of Israel from Egypt. The gospel according to Moses begins and ends with
the gracious work of God for undeserving subjects.
In a book that consists largely of Moses' farewell sermons to his congregation,
Israel's first pastor seeks to inspire his congregation to a life of faith and
godliness in response to God's great mercy. Unfortunately, for many Christians,
Deuteronomy is a dead book, because we have lost sight of the gospel. The
essays in this collection arise from a larger project driven by a passion to
recover for Christians the life-giving message of the Old Testament in general
and the gospel according to Moses in particular. The meditations" in this " volume cover a wide range of topics, from explorations into the origins of
Deuteronomy to considerations of the ethical and homiletical relevance of the
book for Christians today.
Dan Block is one of the finest Old Testament exegetes of this generation. " This collection of his thoughtful articles on Deuteronomy will be invaluable to
anyone studying the book. His labors and analyses are a gift to both the
academy and the Church. - John H. Walton"
