Paul Brown provides us with a faithful, ‘no frills’ guide to Deuteronomy, the second preaching of God’s law. If the reader already has enough motivation to make a first serious study of this great OT book, here is a handbook ‘setting forth the truth plainly’. As well as working steadily through the text, section by section, each chapter closes with three questions for further reflection.
Perhaps the most valuable contribution for the reader of Deuteronomy (as well as for the preacher) is the regular practical application — made always in the light of the New Covenant. While evidently faithful to the original setting of the book at the end of Moses’s life, Brown’s exposition helps us learn its lessons for Christians in the light of Christ.
