Summary An all-new, replacement volume in the classic Tyndale Commentary series! Delivered on the verge of Israels entry into the land of Canaan, Deuteronomy has been described as a book ""on the boundary."" Ted Woods underscores the book's demand that Israel make its words the interpreter of their life story in the land ""beyond the Jordan.""
