Deuteronomy (Apollos Old Testament Commentary Series)

"Students, scholars, and ministers will derive much profit from this commentary."

"What every preacher and student needs is a commentary that makes positive use of the results of scholarly research while at the same time integrating them sympathetically into a contemporary Christian theological worldview. Many series have set out to achieve this, but few have succeeded. Now at last the Apollos series looks set to do so: the names of the editors and potential contributors, together with the evidence of these early volumes, all inspire confidence."

"At last! A commentary series that combines the best of biblical scholarship with a passion for the message of the text. Besides, it actually answers the questions I ask when I read the Scriptures. This series by the finest evangelical scholars is designed for students and pastors who are serious about understanding the Old Testament in its context and translating its message for the church in the twenty-first century."

"Evangelical Old Testament study has made huge strides in the second half of the twentieth century. Tyndale House in the U.K. and IVP internationally were central to that renaissance. And now at the start of the twenty-first century the Apollos Old Testament Commentary Series will build on that foundation as it showcases some of the best contemporary Old Testament interpretation. This series rightly insists on rigorous scholarship but always in the service of the theology and message of the books of the Old Testament. Some outstanding scholars are signed up for this series, and I look forward very much to having these commentaries on my shelves as they appear."

“McConville's Deuteronomy was the first volume to appear in InterVarsity Press" Apollos Commentary on the Old Testament series and it does exceptional justice to the fifth book of the Pentateuch. Deuteronomy casts a long shadow over the subsequent books of the Old Testament, and McConville does an admirable job discussing key critical issues involved with this fact. This commentary is a much-needed conservative contribution to studies of Deuteronomy. McConville interacts with critical scholarship in a careful and appreciative manner, yet ultimately concludes that Deuteronomy dates early in Israel's history. For anyone who wishes to preach or teach on Deuteronomy from an informed conservative viewpoint, this commentary is a must read.”
