The Origin of the Earliest Edition of Deuteronomy
Apart from some pre-exilic sources, Deuteronomy as a composition is post-monarchic in origin. The book was very successful in the templeless, stateless, and kingless times, because it was created in a context without these institutions, which also allowed entirely new ways of thinking. In this paper I will present the main arguments in favor of a post-monarchic Deuteronomy, main counterarguments against it, as well as main alternative theories and their weaknesses.

Bill Arnold’s new commentary on Deuteronomy 1-11 replaces Peter Craigie’s 1976 commentary in the New International Commentary on the Old Testament series. In 2020, Arnold joined Robert L. Hubbard as the editor of this important commentary series. Arnold in the Paul S. Amos Professor of Old Testament Interpretation at Asbury Theological Seminary since 1995 and has contributed many articles and monographs on the Old Testament. He co-edited Dictionary of the Old Testament: Historical Books (IVP Academic, 2005). In the eighty-seven-page introduction Arnold suggests Deuteronomy can rightly be called a compendium of the most important ideas of the Old Testament. “It crystallizes the themes and messages of the first four books of the Bible, while at the same time it establishes the theological foundation for the books of history and prophecy to follow” (1). The message of the book is without question: the exclusive worship and faithfulness to YHWH Israel’s God.

In recent decades Eckart Otto has been one of the leading and most prolific contributors to scholarship on Deuteronomy, as well as a leading figure in the study of biblical law; consequently the publication of the first volumes of his commentary is a major landmark in the study of Deuteronomy. The first two volumes cover only the opening eleven chapters of the book, with the rest of the commentary scheduled to appear in 2016. The scope of the commentary is staggering. The introduction alone runs to over two hundred pages, most of which is an exhaustive account of research on Deuteronomy from Richard Simon to the present; the remaining eight hundred pages of these first two volumes is devoted to just the first eleven chapters of Deuteronomy. If Otto gives the same amount of attention to the rest of the book, the final commentary will run to about 2,500 pages.
Introduction to the Book of Deuteronomy
The English title for the book of Deuteronomy is transliterated from the Greek (LXX) translation of Deut 17:18, in which the king shall have ֹּאת ַז ה ה ַּתֹורָ ה ֵה נ ְּ ש ִ מ ("a copy of this law"). However, both the Greek Δευτερονόμιον and its rendering ("Deuteronomy") into English mean "a second law," rather than "a copy or a repetition of this law." Therefore, the English name of "Deuteronomy" is a misnomer for its meaning may imply that Moses had a second law different from the Israelites' first law. In the setting of Deuteronomy, however, it was a renewal or a copy of the covenant made at Mount Sinai/Horeb with Moses. Following the ancient Jewish practice of naming a book by its opening line, the Hebrew name for this book is debarim, for the book began with "These are the words . . ." ( ֶּה ֵל א
