Description
Herein is Love is a series of Bible commentaries for parents to read to their children. They provide what children need most—solid truths to grow in. In these books, Nancy Ganz draws out the beautiful implications of the Old Testament narrative that are foundational for Christian faith.
The beginning books of the Bible are essential to our understanding of God’s redemptive story. The Herein is Love series creatively focuses our attention on the events that bring this story to life, combining the richness of literature and the depth of a commentary.
Deuteronomy is the fifth and final book of the section of the Bible called the Pentateuch (from the Greek words pente [five] and teukhos [book]) or books of Moses. It is interesting that of the five books of Moses, Deuteronomy is the one most frequently quoted in the New Testament. And from the entire Old Testament’s thirty-nine books, Deuteronomy ranks as the third most frequently quoted book in the New Testament (surpassed only by the Psalms and Isaiah).
The name Deuteronomy is derived from two Greek words: deuteros (second) and nomos (law). This “second law” is not another law, but the same law repeated a second time. Because of this, most children’s Bible books omit Deuteronomy entirely, and it is a difficult book to make interest-catching. The book is largely repetitive— no new characters or stories are introduced, and I’ve already added Deuteronomy’s few new details concerning earlier events to the first four books in this series. So why am I bothering to write a whole commentary on it?
Since God, in his Love and wisdom, desired to repeat the commands and events of earlier books, and since he particularly included the children in the assembly convened for all people to listen to and learn all the words of this law, 1 we can be sure that this repetition is necessary for the sake of their souls.
Author: Nancy Ganz has spent the last twenty years in her native land of Canada, helping her husband, Dr. Richard Ganz, in church-planting work and home-schooling their four daughters. She received her formal theological training from the University of Toronto prior to her conversion to Christ at L'Abri in the Netherlands. However, it has been the many years of Bible study since that time which has produced her Herein is Love commentaries on the Old Testament. Currently, most of her time is spent studying the Scriptures, writing various books, and taking long walks along the country roads and woodland paths near her home.
