The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Deuteronomy

The author offers a detailed, verse-by-verse exposition of Deuteronomy that combines historical-critical discussion with theological and practical application. Opening with issues of authorship, date, and historical setting, the commentary treats the Decalogue, Moses’ mediatorship, love of God, education, the ban and its ethical implications, sacrificial and priestly regulations, prophetic authority, civil and family law, and themes of justice, purity, and charity. Each section relates legal material to religious life and contemporary concerns, closes with analyses of Moses’ farewell, song, blessing, and character, and argues for the book’s moral and spiritual relevance while engaging archaeological and critical questions.
