WCS – Deuteronomy

As the latest edition in the popular Welwyn Commentary series, Gods treasured possession records the sermons preached in the fortieth year after the people of Israel had left Egypt and which Moses preached on the plains of Moab, east of the River Jordan, just before the people of Israel were about to enter the land of Canaan. This was a new generation of Israelites about to enter a new land with many dangers and temptations. The book of Deuteronomy has many lessons to teach us as it is a training manual in godly living and in it we see how Moses trained the Israelites to live as Gods people in Gods land.

Andrew Stewart has already shown his competence as a commentator with his previous volume on 2 Chronicles. Now he turns to Deuteronomy and explains the text with clarity. It is always good to have a pastor treating Scripture and this book shows rich pastoral application. He understands both the text of Scripture and the need of Christian readers. Many will learn a great deal from this commentary as well as finding spiritual enrichment from it.
