Deuteronomy (Reformed Expository Commentary)

“Trent Casto draws out the Lord Jesus Christ as the center of Deuteronomy—the one who bore our covenant curses and bestows on us the covenant blessings that he purchased for elect sinners on the cross. By doing so, Casto shows again that the themes of gospel, grace, and gratitude are present in the Old Testament as well as the New. . . . Savor every page while you sit under the pulpit of a pastor who has carefully exegeted, diligently prayed over, and passionately preached through every verse.”

“In the rising generation of gifted preachers and teachers, Trent Casto is among the best at explaining and applying the Bible. This new exposition of Deuteronomy is deep in its exploration of the Lord’s teaching through Moses, and clear as it draws connections of all kinds, from biblical theology to the practical directions it gives for both the church and wider society.”

“The task of the interpreter of the Bible is to straddle two worlds—that of the original audience’s cultural and historical context and the present situation of the contemporary reader. . . . Trent Casto delivers admirably on both fronts. Attuned to the biblical text throughout, Casto refuses to shirk the difficult interpretive questions, yet also provides wise pastoral application.”

“Trent Casto’s exposition of Deuteronomy is a storehouse of blessings for the people of God. Readers will discover how the law of God points to Christ and the heart of the gospel. Preachers will find well-crafted structure for sermons, graced with gripping introductions, thoughtful applications, and attention-keeping illustrations. This clear and faithful exposition of Deuteronomy encourages students of Scripture to pursue God’s covenantal blessings that radiate through Christ-centered preaching of the Old Testament.”

“Trent Casto’s expositions of Deuteronomy provide excellent examples of what the Reformed Expository Commentary series aspires to accomplish: solid exposition with serious application to the concerns of today’s Christians.”
