Deuteronomy: Audio Lectures Part 1

Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures

by Daniel I. Block

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Deuteronomy: Audio Lectures Part 1 include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

Arranged as a series of sermons given by Moses, the book of Deuteronomy represents the final major segment of the biography of Moses. These sermons review past events described in Genesis through Numbers and challenge Israel to faithful living as they look forward to life in the Promised Land. The theological significance of Deuteronomy cannot be overestimated. Few books in the Bible proclaim such a relevant word of grace and gospel to the church today. At its heart, Deuteronomy celebrates the covenantal relationship between God and his people. God has graciously chosen Israel as his covenant partner and has faithfully demonstrated his covenantal commitment to them. Moses challenges the Israelites to respond by declaring that Yahweh alone is their God and by demonstrating unwavering loyalty and total love for him through obedience.

Deuteronomy: Audio Lectures Part 1 features scholar Daniel I. Block teaching through the book of Deuteronomy in 60 short and engaging lessons. A companion to Block's Deuteronomy commentary in the NIV Application Commentary series, these lessons explore the links between the Bible and our own times that reveal the enduring relevance of Deuteronomy for our twenty-first-century lives.

Reviews

[Steven Evans]

The quality of the content is great. But I had to knock it down because the delivery.

One, the professor uses a sort of preaching voice throughout was very emphatic instead of a lecturing tone. Appreciate his passion for the subject but it distracted for me.

Two, it is an audio lecture, but it is delivered such that you sorta have to have a Bible in front of you to follow along with his outline. For those walking and driving about while listening it is harder to follow because there are very few quotes of the text in the lecture.

Helpful. Don’t compare this rating with ratings for novels. Would recommend to others interested in commentary on Deuteronomy.
