Overview

The Oxford Handbook of Deuteronomy is a gateway to what legal traditions teach about the cultural identity and social world of the people of YHWH -- how they thought about themselves, and about their world and how they faced and resolved the challenges of daily life. More than a record of values of a by-gone era, Deuteronomy continues to inspire audiences to take on the challenges of living their values with confidence. The Oxford Handbook of Deuteronomy introduces readers to significant topics in the thriving conversation and the rich diversity in the academic community studying Deuteronomy. An international collection of scholars, the contributors are specialists in a variety of critical methods for understanding and appreciating legal traditions. Considering the literary development, motifs, social world, intertextuality, and reception history of Deuteronomy this Handbook offers a ready reference to anyone wishing to learn more about one of the most formative books of the Hebrew Bible.
