He gives due attention to historical issues where these bear on what can be known about the settings in which the text emerged. His dominant method is one that approaches Deuteronomy as a finished work.Dr McConville argues that in the context of the ancient world, Deuteronomy should be understood as the radical blueprint for the life of a people, at the same time both spiritual and political, and profoundly different from every other social, political and religious programme. The book incorporates the tension between an open-ended vision of a perfectly ordered society under God, and practical provisions for dealing with the frailty and imperfections of real people. Hence, it is capable of informing our thinking about the organisation of societies while maintaining a vision of the kingdom of God.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Length: 168mmItem Width: 45mmItem Weight: 966gGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Apollos Old Testament CommentaryRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
