Description: Deuteronomy is a book about Israel’s preparation for a new life. Hardship and the wilderness lie behind; the conquest of the promised land lies ahead. What remains at this crucial stage in Israel's history—the end of the Mosaic Age—is a call for a new commitment to God and a fresh understanding of the nature of the community of God's people.

Interpreting Deuteronomy from a conservative perspective, Peter C. Craigie highlights the centrality of the book's theme of covenant commitment while also taking great care to demonstrate how Deuteronomy is a book with considerable contemporary relevance. He uses resources of recent research in Old Testament studies to effectively bridge the gap of more than three thousand years that separates the modern reader from the events described in Deuteronomy, thus clarifying the primary message of the text for the modern reader. In its simplest phrasing that message is "Commit yourself to God wholeheartedly." Deuteronomy, according to Craigie, provides a paradigm for the kingdom of God in the modern world.

"Peter Craigie's exposition of Deuteronomy is full, accurate, and illuminating. He bears in mind that Deuteronomy is not only a monument of ancient Hebrew literature but a permanent part of Christian Scripture."
—F.F. Bruce

"Craigie's work on Deuteronomy meets an obvious need by providing a full-scale exposition of this book of the Pentateuch in light of recent criticism and Near Eastern culture....Craigie's own translation of the Hebrew text and his uniformly helpful commentary combine to make this a serviceable volume."
—Ralph P. Martin
