The Bible Digest Study Series ::: Deuteronomy [Paperback Edition]
The Book of Deuteronomy is the fifth and final book of the Pentateuch, traditionally attributed to Moses. The title ‘Deuteronomy’ means ‘second law,’ and the book serves as a series of speeches delivered by Moses to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. These speeches occur on the plains of Moab, after 40 years of wilderness wandering.
Deuteronomy is not a repetition of laws, but a covenant renewal. Moses reminds the new generation of God’s past faithfulness, reiterates the law given at Sinai, and calls them to obedience and wholehearted love for God. This book emphasizes the importance of remembering, teaching, and living out the Word of God.
Key themes include the sovereignty of God, covenant faithfulness, blessings for obedience, consequences for rebellion, and the love of God expressed through His commands. Deuteronomy also looks forward prophetically to the coming of a greater prophet like Moses, fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
