The Book of Deuteronomy, Chapters 1-11
"The book of Deuteronomy can rightly be called a compendium of the most important ideas of the Old Testament." So begins this commentary on the book of Deuteronomy, which Bill Arnold treats as the heart of the Torah and the fulcrum of the Old Testament--crystallizing the themes of the first four books of the Bible and establishing the theological foundation of the books that follow.
After a thorough introduction that explores these and other matters, Arnold provides an original translation of the first eleven chapters of Deuteronomy along with verse-by-verse commentary (with the translation and commentary of the remaining chapters following in a second volume). As with the other entries in the New International Commentary on the Old Testament, Arnold remains rooted in the book's historical context while focusing on its meaning and use as Christian Scripture today. Ideal for pastors, students, scholars, and interested laypersons, this commentary is an authoritative yet accessible companion to the book of Deuteronomy.

Praise for this book
S. D. Ellison in Themelios
"I am yet to be left disappointed after engaging Arnold's work. I am certainly not always in agreement with him, but he is a fruitful conversation partner. As a result, I am convinced that this new NICOT volume (and its forthcoming companion) will be the new standard for engaging Deuteronomy. . . . Given the fundamental nature of Deuteronomy for all of Scripture, we must be grateful for Arnold and his contribution to Deuteronomic studies with this volume."
Interpretation
"Arnold's commentary is erudite."
"The volume will be of great interest to all graduate-level students (including seminary but also anyone wanting an up-to-date, expansive work on recent Deuteronomy scholarship), teachers, scholars, as well as the general reader. That is a key highlight of the volume: it is both meticulous in its scholarship, yet also accessible." Calvin Theological Journal
"Arnold's commentary of Deuteronomy 1-11 will likely become the standard treatment from a broadly evangelical perspective." "Bill T. Arnold has been working toward this commentary for some time now. Here at last comes the first installment of what is nothing short of a monumental gift to biblical interpreters of all kinds. Arnold has given us the most extensive, careful exposition of the text of Deuteronomy 1-11 we've seen in decades. We are all in his considerable debt, and we will remain there for a very long time to come."
--Brent A. Strawn
Duke University "This new edition exemplifies all that makes NICOT the leading OT commentary series: sane text-critical analysis; exegetical rigor; a deep, wide, and up-to-date engagement with the scholarly literature; and theological sensitivity and relevance. Having read dozens of commentaries and countless other works on Deuteronomy--with a few publications of my own--I still learned a lot from Arnold. More importantly, my love for the book was reignited as Arnold unpacked God's revelation through the voice of Moses."
