For renowned Old Testament scholar Dr. Daniel Block, Deuteronomy is the “Gospel according to Moses.” The bulk of Deuteronomy consists of Moses’ farewell addresses, in which Israel’s pastor calls the Israelites to remember God’s grace in salvation, covenant relationship with him, and his revelation of a way of blessing in a lost world. In some senses Deuteronomy is to the Old Testament what John’s Gospel and Paul’s letter to the Romans are to the New. Reflecting on YHWH’s past demonstrations of grace to his people, he lays the theological foundation for our entire Scriptures.
What is the Gospel of Moses? How did Moses communicate that Gospel? How did he lay the foundation for the New Testament? How are Moses’ teachings for ancient Israel relevant for New Testament Christians? Based on a lifetime of research and ministry and with careful attention to the literary features of each passage, this three-volume commentary offers readers a profound grasp of the Gospel according to Moses in Deuteronomy and its relevance for today.
Available in English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese editions and in both paper and eBook formats.

This three volume set expands greatly upon Block's commentary for the NIVAC series (going from 880 pages to 1300) and was produced with the permission and co-operation of the good editors at Zondervan. Block writes in his introduction: "The result of my decade-long conversation with Moses was a 1250 page manuscript that I sent to Zondervan. Unfortunately the limitations of the series forced me to eliminate much of my exegetical homework and more detailed consideration of many subjects." That has now been restored. For me, the premiere glory of this set is Block's own translation of the text which digs deeper into the Hebrew than the NIV. Breaking the commentary into three volumes does increase the cost significantly considering the volumes are Print On Demand. That said, the quality of the book and the text block is as good as any standard academic publisher (and better than some I could name!). Those familiar with Block will expect a high level of scholarship. A knowledge of Hebrew will always place a reader at an advantage. I am not at that level at all, but have no issues navigating the text. If you're a fan of Block's NIVAC volume, this set will take you deeper into the world of Moses and the Torah. It also marks the final realization of his commentary as he'd first presented it.
