description: This volume contains nine important articles by one of the world's foremost Deuteronomy scholars, published here for the first time in English. Dr. Braulik not only employs classical methods of literary-historical criticism, but also brings the text of Deuteronomy into dialogue with the New Testament and with the modern Church. Among other issues addressed Deuteronomy's program for the liberation of women, the birth of monotheism, the transformation of Deuteronomy from a teaching document to a covenant treaty, and Deuteronomy's theory of festivals. The essays "Wisdom, Divine Presence and Law," "The Joy of the Feast," "Commemoration of Passion and Feast of Joy," "Some Remarks on the Deuteronomistic Conception of Freedom and Peace," "Deuteronomy and the Birth of Monotheism," "Deuteronomy and Human Rights," "The Development of the Doctrine of Justification in the Redactional Strata of the Book of Deuteronomy," "The Rejection of the Goddess Asherah in Israel," "Deuteronomy and the Commemorative Culture of Israel."
