Deuteronomy (New Century Bible Series)

The series of New Century Bible commentaries are treatments of individual books, or small groups of books, of the Bible (Revised Standard Version) by a universally acknowledged expert on that book. In his treatment of Deuteronomy, author A.D.H. Mayes traces the probable history of the formation and literary development of the law code that eventually resulted in the intense expression of a nationalistic faith that is Deuteronomy. The detailed verse-by-verse commentary draws out the meaning of the original Hebrew text and brings together in concise form the findings of modern scholarship, many of which are referenced in a valuable bibliography of well over 300 special studies.
