Ostensibly, Deuteronomy describes Israel in triumphant and glowing terms. America is often described in a similar light. But activist and scholar Daniel Barrington in No Gods But One points to the dark side of Israel as it is described in Deuteronomy, and with compelling candor, extends those observations to modern America. Thus, he prophetically describes America and Israel in similar terms, to their mingled triumph and broken law, and disturbingly indicts our own age on the same terms that condemned Israel. In the end, Barrington creates a unique genre of theological literature that juxtaposes biblical commentary that directly engages the text, and a social commentary that directly addresses the failures of America in light of that same text. Hermeneutical and exegetical objections aside, what Berrigan produces is an insightful and engaging socio-theological commentary that speaks from the text to our own age.
