This is a major study on the book of Deuteronomy by an acclaimed expert in the field.Paying particular attention to the legal passages in Deuteronomy, Professor RofT seeks to clarify the contents and unity of each section, its literary history, the origin of the single laws and their relation to other kindred laws in other documents of the Pentateuch.Bringing together different methods of biblical study - traditional Jewish interpretation, classical biblical criticism, form criticism, history of tradition and textual criticism - the author argues that the roots of Deuteronomy lie in monarchial Israel and Judah, that the literary climax belongs to the seventh century BCE, and that the final stages of the text are exilic and early post-exilic.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“The next four essays [essays 7-11] illustrate Rofé’s exegetical depth and breath [sic]: interpreting the tenth commandment in light of four deuteronomic laws (19:14, 23:25, 23:26; 24:10-11)…It [the book] belongs in research libraries.” –Religious Studies Review, 01/04 (Won W. Lee Religious Studies Review )
“The other essays in the volume are equally interesting and equally well written. Rofé takes his readers down a well-lit path and shows them curiosities that are often overlooked by other passersby. This collection is highly recommended, though its learnedness and meticulous treatment of the various issues involved will be a little more than the casual or general reader will be able to absorb. It is a collection intended for experts.” –Society of Biblical Literature/RBL, 04/2004
