The book Interpreting Deuteronomy delves into the profound influence of the Book of Deuteronomy, particularly within the context of the Old Testament. It is notable for its frequent appearances in ancient manuscripts, especially those found at Qumran, and its significant citations in the New Testament, including Jesus' references in the Gospel of Matthew during moments of temptation. As scholars continue to explore this pivotal text, the landscape of Deuteronomy studies is evolving, moving away from traditional frameworks like the Documentary Hypothesis toward new methodologies that spark fresh debates and insights.

Interpreting Deuteronomy emphasizes the unique theological perspective that Deuteronomy contributes to the Pentateuch. While there is a wealth of resources available for those interested in this book, many tend to be either introductory in nature or highly specialized, leaving a gap for those seeking a more balanced approach.

The contributors to this volume include respected scholars such as Paul Barker, Jenny Corcoran, and John H. Walton, among others. Their collective expertise offers a valuable resource for teachers and preachers of the Old Testament, providing insights that are both informative and thought-provoking. This work stands as a testament to the ongoing relevance and richness of Deuteronomy in biblical scholarship.
