Deuteronomy (New American Commentary)

The addresses of Moses in the Book of Deuteronomy declare that the awesome God of creation had become the incomparable God and King of Israel. E. H. Merrill herein describes and explains the "defining moment" in Israel's history, when Moses prepared the new nation for victories and the blessings of a new life in the promised land. This contemporary work emphasizes the grace and faithfulness of the great God who embraced the people of Israel by covenant, but it also stresses God's call for his people to devote their hearts and lives in loving loyalty to him. Deuteronomy calls for God's people to model God's kingdom on earth and is thus foundational to the faith.
