Deuteronomic Theology and the Significance of Torah by Peter T Vogt
One of the few areas of consensus in modern Deuteronomy scholarship is the contention that within the book of "Deuteronomy" there is a program of reform that was nothing short of revolutionary. This title examines the ways in which the theology of "Deuteronomy" has been understood, in terms of centralization, secularization, and demythologization.
Engaging the best scholarship on Deuteronomy, Vogt presents a fresh view of the countercultural character of the book and rightly sees at its heart a claim for the sovereignty of the Lord of Israel as manifest through covenant and TorahHis analysis of key dimensions of Deuteronomy, especially such major components as centralization, kingship, and the presence of God, will require interpreters to reassess how such matters are to be regarded. Certainly, widespread assumptions about how the book reflects a secularization and demythologization of earlier modes of thinking, acting, and seeing will require reevaluation in the light of Vogt's careful reading of the text of Deuteronomy. -- Patrick D. Miller, Princeton Theological Seminary
