FOB: Deuteronomy

The Commands of a Covenant God.'Deuteronomy' is a misnomer,
it means Èthe second lawÉ. The name is taken from Deuteronomy 17:18 where the
expression really means having a copy of the law. Deuteronomy is therefore not
a second, different, law but a renewal of the covenant made on Mount Sinai. For
a people on the brink of entering their promised land Deuteronomy confirmed
GodÉs gracious promises as they prepared for new horizons and
adventures:Allan Harman shows the covenant structure of Deuteronomy
throughout its 5 key sections:
* Historical introduction (1:1 to 4:49)
*
The Foundation of the Covenant Relationship (5:1 to 31)
* The Exposition of
Ten Commandments (6:1 to 26:15)
* The Re-affirmation of the Covenant (27:1
to 30:20)
* The Continuation of the Covenant (31:1 to 34:12).'He keeps the connectedness of the text before us and yet
can dash off to capture a Hebrew participle or suffix, pilfer a bit of Near
Eastern background, or serve up the succinct result of a word study - all to
light up a passage.' - Dale Ralph Davis'Allan
HarmanÉs exposition is as clear as crystal´ This is a work of fine scholarship
lightly worn.' - Geoffrey Grogan Series: Focus on the
