Deuteronomy, deuteronomic, deuteronomistic, Israel’s identityAbstract
Deuteronomy, the fifth and final book of the Pentateuch, constitutes, in a literary perspective, a collection of discourses put in the mouth of Moses in the Transjordania, before dying and delegating the leadership of the entry into the land in the hands of Joshua. In a theological approach, it is a fundamental book to understand a good part of the Old Testament theology, because it synthesizes the fundamental elements of the Israelite faith: law, alliance, election and people. Its composition, long and complex, allowed Israel to shape an identity reflection that made the text one of the most popular religious books during the second temple period, and the key to understanding Scripture as a fundamental piece of Israel’s instruction. This popularity also explains that it exercised a remarkable influence in the New Testament.Downloads
