This volume offers a fresh approach to an old issue: the question of Moses' authorship. Whereas traditional interpretation equated the "book" written by Moses (Deut 31:9,24) with Deuteronomy, and even with the Pentateuch, and while critical historical exegesis endeavors to identify Deuteronomy's successive redactors, this study assesses the literary claim of Deuteronomy as far as Moses' writing is concerned.
The study first describes the process of communication in Deuteronomy's represented world (by Moses to the sons of Israel); it next characterizes the Book of Deuteronomy as communication (by the narrator to the reader); it eventually focuses on Deuteronomy's powerful embodiment of the theme of the "book within the book". Thus approached, Deuteronomy shows itself as a narrative theory of what (holy) "writ" is all about.

About the Author:
Jean-Pierre Sonnet, S.J., Ph.D. (1996) in Religious Studies, Indiana University, Bloomington, is Associate Professor at the Institut d'Études Théologiques in Brussels. He has published La parole consacrée (Peeters, 1984), and several articles on the literary approach to the Hebrew Bible.
Review:
'Dans ces conditions, la lecture devient construction d'un sens que le texte cache, un sens qui attend le lecteur avisé qui le fera venir au jour. C'est un tel travail que J.P.S. convie son lecteur...Car, même si elle n'est pas défaut - je laisserai le soin aux spécialistes du Dt de les relever -, cette étude développe, sans technicité inutile, une manière de lire la Bible autrement stimulante pour un non-spécialiste que celle à laquelle l'exégèse classique nous a habitués.'
André Wénin, Comptes Rendus, 1999.
'...une bibliographie de 333 titres, en anglais, français et allemand (dont 22 de N. Lohfink), énorme documentation qui n'empêche pas l'A. de garder le cap; un double index des auteurs et des références bibliques. Thèse qui suscite la réflexion: elle nous apprend à lire l'Écriture, et singulièrement le Deutéronome comme conclusion du Pentateuque.'
J. Radermakers, Nouvelle Revue Théologique, 1999.
'Avec le présent ouvrage l'approche accède à un niveau supérieur: il ne s'agit plus d'une ébauche suggestive ou d'une expérience intéressante, mais d'une méthode mûrement réfléchie dont tous les commentateurs du Deutéronome devront tenir compte.'
J. Joosten, Revue d'Histoire et de Philosophie Religieuses, 1999.
