The Book of Deuteronomy is the most 'theological' book in the Hebrew Scriptures, and its ideas form the basis for the Judeo-Christian philosophy of life. Weinfeld's commentary on the first eleven chapters of Deuteronomy considers some of the most important elements in the entire book and in the entire Law: the Shema, the Ten Commandments, the history of Law, and the story of the Israelites' disastrous worship of the golden calf. Weinfeld, a professor at Hebrew University, is the world's foremost Deuteronomic scholar. 458 Pages. Softcover from Yale University Press.
Moshe Wienfeld is the foremost commentator on the Deuteronomist and Deuteronomic School. He is Professor of Biblical and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
