Book Synopsis The Theopolitical Discourses of Moses by : Martin Sicker
Download or read book The Theopolitical Discourses of Moses written by Martin Sicker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Deuteronomy, the last of the Five Books of Moses or Pentateuch, consists in the main of Moses' final discourses delivered to the children of Israel as they stood poised to begin the conquest and settlement of the land upon which they were to build a national society. The central concern of Moses, as reflected in these discourses, is with the challenge of nation building, creating an Israelite nation out of a mélange of ethnically related tribes and clans that were just liberated from centuries of subjugation and servitude in a relatively sophisticated pagan environment. That which is to bind them together is not a compact between them but rather a common covenant with God to which all would be equal parties. Many of the terms of the covenant were revealed incrementally in the earlier books of the Pentateuch. However, it is only here in Deuteronomy that Moses begins to give them the clearly discernible shape of a constitution for the covenantal society to be established as a nation-state in its divinely assigned territory. Within the constitutional framework set forth in the work is a range of precepts, rules, and regulations governing both those matters that are between man and God and those between man and man, understood as the two sides of a common coin, the covenant. In the effort to comprehend and explain the highly complex biblical text, the author has consulted and cited a wide range of commentaries and studies written over a period of some two millennia that have sought to understand the biblical texts from a variety of perspectives, many of which are virtually inaccessible to those without a good working knowledge of Hebrew.

Book Synopsis Deuteronomy by : Peter Russell-Yarde
Download or read book Deuteronomy written by Peter Russell-Yarde and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The books of the Old Testament provide all the information required to more fully understand the teaching of the New Testament. It was the only resource Paul had to provide us with the basics of Christian theology. Deuteronomy is oratorical in style, enabling us to imagine ourselves standing there listening to this remarkable leader speak to the people.Whilst reminding them of past calamities, Moses also spoke of many demonstrations of the amazing power of the God that had chosen them and loved them, and the way He had provided for them in many remarkable ways. He also recalled them assembling at the base of Sinai to hear the mighty voice of God Himself coming out of the fire and smoke at the top of the mountain, giving them the ten commandments that were to regulate their future lives under his oversight. What an awesome, though frightening experience that was. Particularly interesting in studying the book of Deuteronomy is recognising just how much of what God said through Moses is still relevant today. The message of Deuteronomy is here opened up to help you gain a better understanding of what God was saying through Moses, and thus enable you to live a life closer to God.These three last discourses of Moses contain essential foundational instructions for the Israelites to live a settled and prosperous life in a land that God was giving them; instructions that could well impact positively on our lives today.Speaking from the experience of having researched and written this book, Moses' speeches undoubtedly contain a treasure trove of deep spiritual knowledge from which I have greatly benefitted.
Book Synopsis Deuteronomy and the Death of Moses by : Dennis T. Olson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This overture provides the interested reader with a fresh approach to commentary writing, one that engages all the traditional concern with total coverage of the text in question, but with the added feature of uniting that commentary under a single set of larger working concerns. The first-time reader of Deuteronomy is introduced both to the standard critical issues and to the text itself, but within the context of a concern to understand the book's abiding theological legacy.

Hanson brings this important work to the present generation in the hopes of provoking the same reaction.
Book Synopsis The Book of the Covenant by : Martin Sicker
Download or read book The Book of the Covenant written by Martin Sicker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the biblical narrative, in addition to the Ten Commandments, Moses received a series of supplementary instructions to guide the people as they set about establishing a society in conformity with the covenant that are to be found in the so-called the Book of the Covenant. The book, which is imbedded in the biblical book of Exodus essentially contains addenda or amendments to longstanding customary laws with which the children of Israel were already familiar, and for this reason its various components vary widely in scope, depending on the extent of differentiation from customary law that they entail. This study of the ordinances in the Book of the Covenant focuses not only on what they meant for the ancient Israelites but also how those laws, rules, instructions, and admonitions were treated and in some instances modified as they were incorporated into the huge corpus of Jewish Law, as it emerged over a period of some two and a half millennia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Knight shows, theologians from biblical times to our own have developed a theology of remembering from these verses, clarifying and expressing Moses' words in terms of their respective social settings. Originating in God's own words as revealed to Moses, the Song allowed Israel to remember God's mighty acts in history and to summarize those experiences and ideals that would allow them to survive as a people.

Book Synopsis A Prophet like Moses (Deut 18:15, 18): The Origin, History, and Influence of the Mosaic Prophetic Succession by : David DeJong
Download or read book A Prophet like Moses (Deut 18:15, 18): The Origin, History, and Influence of the Mosaic Prophetic Succession written by David DeJong and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-09-12 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, DeJong explores Deuteronomy’s redefinition of prophecy in Mosaic terms. He traces the history of Deuteronomy’s concept of the prophet like Moses from the seventh century BCE to the first century CE, and demonstrates the ways in which Jewish and Christian texts were influenced by and responded to Deuteronomy’s creation of a Mosaic norm for prophetic claims. This wide-ranging discussion illuminates the development of normative discourses in Judaism and Christianity, and illustrates the far-reaching impact of Deuteronomy’s thought.

Book Synopsis Pondering the Imponderable by : Martin Sicker
Download or read book Pondering the Imponderable written by Martin Sicker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pondering the Imponderable explores the philosophical and theological problems of God and their implications from a Judaic perspective including the attempts at knowing the unknowable and naming the unnamable that have been articulated over the course of some two millennia, as well as how the chasm between man and God is bridged through revelation and the implications of these ideas for the ultimate question of what takes place after death, resurrection, immortality of the soul, or transmigration or reincarnation. In discussing these issues, the non-specialized reader will be introduced to the vast corpus of rabbinic literature written over a period of some two millennia to the present day and to many works that have never been translated into English.
Book Synopsis The Rhetoric of Remembrance by : Jerry Hwang
Download or read book The Rhetoric of Remembrance written by Jerry Hwang and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2012-05-02 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To whom is Moses speaking in Deuteronomy? This question is controversial in OT scholarship. Some passages in Deuteronomy indicate that Moses is addressing the first exodus generation that witnessed Horeb (Deut 5:3–4), while other passages point to the second exodus generation that survived the wilderness (Deut 1:35; 2:14–16). Redaction critics such as Thomas Römer and John Van Seters view the chronological problems in Deuteronomy as evidence of multiple tradition layers. Although other scholars have suggested that Deuteronomy’s conflation of chronology is a rhetorical move to unify Israel’s generations, no analysis has thus far explored in detail how the blending of “you” and the “fathers” functions as a rhetorical device. However, a rhetorical approach to the “fathers” is especially appropriate in light of three features of Deuteronomy. First, a rhetorical approach recognizes that the repetitiveness of the Deuteronomic style is a homiletical strategy designed to inculcate the audience with memory. The book is shot through with exhortations for Israel to remember the past. Second, a rhetorical approach recognizes that collective memory entails the transformation of the past through actualization for the present. Third, a rhetorical approach to Deuteronomy accords well with the book’s self-presentation as “the words that Moses spoke” (1:1). The book of Deuteronomy assumes a canonical posture by embedding the means of its own oral and written propagation, thereby ensuring that the voice of Moses speaking in the book of Deuteronomy resounds in Israel’s ears as a perpetually authoritative speech-act. The Rhetoric of Remembrance demonstrates that Deuteronomy depicts the corporate solidarity of Israel in the land promised to the “fathers” (part 1), under the sovereignty of the same “God of the fathers” across the nation’s history (part 2), as governed by a timeless covenant of the “fathers” between YHWH and his people (part 3). In the narrative world of Deuteronomy, the “fathers” begin as the patriarchs, while frequently scrolling forward in time to include every generation that has received YHWH’s promises but nonetheless continues to await their fulfillment. Hwang’s study is an insightful, innovative approach that addresses crucial aspects of the Deuteronomic style with a view to the theological effect of that style.

Book Synopsis Reflections on the Book of Numbers by : Martin Sicker
Download or read book Reflections on the Book of Numbers written by Martin Sicker and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perusing this biblical book through a theopolitical prism, it may be seen that another unifying theme that courses through the diverse contents of this biblical work is that of molding the diverse tribes of the children of Israel into a functioning confederacy presided over by an increasingly strong central authority. For forty years, Moses wrestled with the problem of retaining the tribal structure of the children of Israel as a vehicle for the transmission of traditional teachings and values from the generation of the exodus to their descendants and, at the same time, attempting to restructure intertribal relationships within the confederacy by the nationalization and centralization of the evolving religion, focused on the Tabernacle and its rites that served as the adhesive that bound them to each other. What the narrative also illustrates is the challenge of exercising the effective central leadership essential to containing the centripetal social forces that tended to impede the transition from a tribal confederacy to a unified nation, a challenge that purportedly caused an eleven-day trip from Mount Sinai to the Promised Land to take thirty-eight years to complete.
