Deuteronomy by P. D. Miller, Jr.

Much like the WBC series (above), the Interpretation series “is written for those who teach, preach, and study the Bible in the community of faith.”  And like Mann, Miller achieves this objective admirably, with a slightly fuller discussion and a little more obvious engagement with contemporary scholarly research.  Both of these volumes are splendid models of how to “do commentary” in a way that encourages and informs the reading of Scripture, inspires and guides the walk of faith, and serves the life and mission of the Church.  Miller is at his best in putting penetrating insights in accessible language.  Readers will be especially blessed by a number of excursuses (e.g., theology of land, Moses the teacher, Moses as exemplary prophet) and by a fuller-than-average exposition of the Ten Commandments (on which the same author has produced a more recent volume of 477 pp.!).
