Deuteronomy 1:1-21:9
For centuries the book of Deuteronomy has been studied as a compilation of three sermons followed by three appendices. In his penetrating new study of this fifth book of the Pentateuch, Duane Christensen posits that "Deuteronomy is best explained as a didactic poem, composed to be recited publicly to music in ancient Israel within a liturgical setting." As such, the book can become a window allowing the modern reader to observe the poetic and musical traditions of early Hebrew worshipers.
- the practical implications of the historic Sinai covenant with its high moral and spiritual standards for God's people;
- the artistic and literary structures of Deuteronomy, stylistic forms not unlike those seen in ancient and modern epic poetry and music.
