Deuteronomy is quoted or alluded to in the New Testament more than any other book in the Hebrew Scriptures. It is a book we have to wrestle with. It places us with Moses on the brink of the Promised Land, on the cusp of a new era for a new generation. Will Israel be ready to face the challenges of Canaan? Moses gives three death-bed sermons to remind them of the story of their ancestors and to help the people navigate what lies before them. But we are also placed before another context, 650 years later - the world of the narrator. Judah is facing a new threat - Assyria. How do these two worlds collide in the formation of Deuterononmy? In this brief overview we will explore how the fascinating context of the book gives us a welcome introduction to the challenges faced by them and us.
