Book Description

October 2009 New International Bible Commentary Series (Book 4)
Section by section exposition with key terms and phrase highlighted and all Hebrew transliterated. A seperate section of notes at the close of each chapter provides additional textual and technical comments. Each commentary also includes a selected bibliography as well as Scripture and subject indexes. This set is for serious and general readers alike. Wright is Principal of All Nations Christian College in England. His Ph.D. is from Cambridge University.

"This is a volume that moves the art of Old Testament commentary forward. His vigour of style and argument makes it more than mere commentary, but a work of theology itself. In Chris Wright, Deuteronomy has found an exponent who has shown its power and relevance to the modern world, and who even borrows some of its passion in his own writing."
-Gordon McConville, Cheltenham and Gloucester College of Higher Education

Product Description

From the Back Cover

Expert help for understanding the Bible

Each volume in the Understanding the Bible Commentary Series breaks down the barriers between the ancient and modern worlds so that the power and meaning of the biblical texts become transparent to contemporary readers. They present a careful section-by-section exposition of the biblical books with key terms and phrases highlighted and all Hebrew transliterated. Notes at the close of each chapter provide additional textual and technical comments for those who want to dig deeper. A bibliography as well as Scripture and subject indexes are also included. Pastors, students, and Bible teachers will find in this series a commitment to accessibility without sacrificing serious scholarship.

Deuteronomy records Moses' parting words to Israel's new generation on the brink of the Promised Land. He recounts their history, sets before them God's covenant and laws, and instructs them on being God's people in the world. The author passionately explains this important theological book, with a particular eye towards implications for faithful life and witness in our own day.

Christopher J. H. Wright is the International Director of the Langham Partnership International, which provides literature, scholarships and preaching training for Majority World pastors and seminaries. He received his PhD from Cambridge University, taught OT at the Union Biblical Seminary in India for five years and then at All Nations Christian College, England, for thirteen. His books include Old Testament Ethics for the People of God; The Message of Ezekiel; The Mission of God; The God I Don't Understand; and The Mission of God's People. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb commentary July 15 2007

Rarely do I read a commentary that provokes my thinking and provides insight in the way this commentary has. The author not only has a mastery of the material in Deuteronomy better than any other commentary I have on the book, but he also shows its application to people under the New Covenant and nations in general. I have grown in my understanding not only of Deuteronomy but the Mosaic Law as a whole through reading this book. I heartily recommend it.

This is an excellent resource on the book of Deuteronomy. It is very detailed and relatively easy to read. I would highly suggest it. As always, you must purge out certain items that you will not agree with. Ultimately, however, you will find the book to be an excellent commentary.

Wright is a pleasure to read. His focus on the missiological thrust of Deuteronomy make it incredibly applicable to the church today.
