Great Blog Post on Deuteronomy!

I've been reading through deuteronomy lately and this blog post by Amanda Beattie got me so excited about it.

A couple of quotes:

"Deuteronomy is the bomb. It’s so much the bomb that I feel compelled to resort to hokey slang like “the bomb” to laud it. Deuteronomy? More like Deuter-ROCKIN’-ME."

"One of the things I love about it is that it is not what most people think it is — a law book packed with rules and regulation and devoid of any tenderness or excitement."

"Firstly, Deutoronomy is basically Moses’ last words to the nation of Israel. Everything he spoke in this book, he spoke knowing full well that the Lord was about to take him up on a mountain to die. Moses wasn’t looking at this as merely a review of the legal code (and neither was the Lord, for that matter). He was looking at a nation of people who were about to be turned over to a new leader, entering a new land, stinging from the loss of the man who had been a constant leader for them for more than forty years."

Read the whole thing.

(I loved the whole thing but I really liked the "Deater-ROCKIN'-Me" part.)
