Deuteronomy: An Introduction And Commentary by Professor Gordon McConville (Engl

Description: Deuteronomy by Professor Gordon McConville, Gordon McConville A theological interpretation of the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this outstanding commentary, Gordon McConville offers a theological interpretation of the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy in the context of the biblical canon.He gives due attention to historical issues where these bear on what can be known about the settings in which the text emerged. His dominant method is one that approaches Deuteronomy as a finished work.Dr McConville argues that in the context of the ancient world, Deuteronomy should be understood as the radical blueprint for the life of a people, at the same time both spiritual and political, and profoundly different from every other social, political and religious programme.The book incorporates the tension between an open-ended vision of a perfectly ordered society under God, and practical provisions for dealing with the frailty and imperfections of real people. Hence, it is capable of informing our thinking about the organisation of societies while maintaining a vision of the kingdom of God.

The one that I have found of the most all-round benefit is Ernest Lucas in the Apollos Old Testament Commentary series. Lucas succeeds in drawing out the message of the book while also paying judicious attention to complex issues of history, eschatology, and composition."--Tim Meadowcroft, Catalyst, Vol. 40, No. 3, March 2014 Long Description In this outstanding commentary J.

Lucas succeeds in drawing out the message of the book while also paying judicious attention to complex issues of history, eschatology, and composition." Review Quote "What every preacher and student needs is a commentary that makes positive use of the results of scholarly research while at the same time integrating them sympathetically into a contemporary Christian theological worldview. Many series have set out to achieve this, but few have succeeded. Now at last the Apollos series looks set to do so: the names of the editors and potential contributors, together with the evidence of these early volumes, all inspire confidence."
