Description

The Book of Deuteronomy provides a foundation for understanding the Old and New Testaments. It recounts the Israelites' experience, reminding them that God formed and redeemed them from Egypt, and provided the Promised Land. This commentary by J. Edward Owens explores key motifs in Deuteronomy, including land, love, remembering and forgetting, time, retribution, the Divine Name, and the Ten Commandments. Through its narrative, Deuteronomy emphasizes the importance of communal remembrance of God's love for the Israelites. Owens brings his expertise as a biblical scholar to this commentary, drawing on his experience as Minister Provincial of the US Province of Trinitarians and former professor of biblical studies at St. John's Seminary in California and Oblate School of Theology in Texas.
