Summary:

An all-new, replacement volume in the classic Tyndale Commentary series! Delivered on the verge of Israel's entry into the land of Canaan, Deuteronomy has been described as a book "on the boundary." Ted Woods underscores the book's demand that Israel make its words the interpreter of their life story in the land "beyond the Jordan."
