Description

David F. Payne helps readers see the importance of this pivotal biblical book and guides them in applying its message to today's world.

In his perceptive commentary, David F. Payne helps readers see the importance of this pivotal biblical book and guides them in applying its message to today's world. Deuteronomy consists of three major addresses to the people in which Moses repeats the laws already set forth. Why, then, is Deuteronomy necessary with its repeat of law and covenant? "The internal logic of Deuteronomy," writes Payne, "provides one answer to this question: Israel's forthcoming entry into the Promised Land would create a dramatic break with the past, as a wandering people become a settled nation, with an entirely different way of life. So Israel's great leader, Moses, takes great pains to make sure that Israel will be faithful to her God-given law and covenant, and will remember her formative past." Readers, then as now, are called upon to "renew their covenant with God; or... to examine their hearts and lives, and then to reassert their loyalty to God's calling and service."

The Daily Study Bible series seamlessly continues the legacy of William Barclay's renowned New Testament series by delving into the texts of the Old Testament, weaving together ancient wisdom and modern insights for a transformative reading experience. Perfectly tailored for individual study, spirited group discussions, or classroom exploration, the Daily Study Bible series offers an indispensable resource for spiritual seekers and scholars alike. Within these volumes, readers will encounter a profound exploration of the Scriptures, uncovering the profound messages they held in the past and discerning their relevance in the present.
