Deuteronomy: An Introduction and Commentary

Thousands camped east of the Jordan, ready to cross it, eradicate a decadent culture and establish their own nation. Their remarkable leader Moses, soon to die, stood and spoke to them. The book of Deuteronomy records these speeches. Commentator J. A. Thompson believes we cannot fail to be challenged by the persistent demands throughout the book that we acknowledge the complete and sole sovereignty of God in our lives. Nor can we fail to be touched by the noble concept of God that underlies the whole book. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.

The late J. A. Thompson (M.A., M.Sc., B.D., B.Ed., Ph.D.) taught in the department of Middle Eastern Studies, University of Melbourne, and at Baptist Theological College in Sydney, Australia.
