不同於過去歷史批判學的觀點,奧爾森在《申命記與摩西之死》一書中強調了《申命記》的連貫性。作者認為,《申命記》雖然在文學和神學上均存在張力,但是有幾個主題可以使之統一起來。其中貫穿整捲《申命記》的“摩西之死”,暗示出人類權力的可能與局限。奧爾森以非典型的註釋方式,為讀者帶來了全新的神學解讀進路。書中指出,摩西之死是自我犧牲的典範,亦是面對"新約"人無能為力的危機。因此,本書將《申命記》轉變為福音書和基督之死的序言。
本書並非《申命記》註釋,卻對我們使用其他註釋書大有裨益。結合本書和其他《申命記》註釋,將有助於我們深入這部在舊約中舉足輕重的書卷。
【推薦辭】
“儘管《申命記與摩西之死》在形式上與註釋書很相似,但它並不是一本註釋書。它為讀者帶來了釋經著作的全新進路——將所有傳統的關注點都放置於有疑問的文本範圍之內,同時與具備一套更廣闊視角的註釋加以融合。本書不僅介紹了《申命記》中公認的關鍵問題,也介紹了文本本身,然而更為重要的是,本書從始至終致力於讓我們明白《申命記》中那永恆的神學遺產。

奧爾森對《申命記》的考察並不是註釋,但它對你可能使用的任何註釋書都是一個極好的幫助。本書的英文出版商Wipf & Stock Publishers有良好的聲譽,他們重新出版了許多精美的絕版書,不妨找來看看。本書可以幫助你理解《申命記》的形式和結構,有了這本書,再加上Craigie的《申命記註釋》(NICOT),你就可以潛心研究《申命記》這卷非常重要,甚至是舊約中最重要的書。拿起來讀吧!
——亞馬遜讀者
Different from the viewpoint of historical criticism in the past, Olsen emphasized the coherence of Deuteronomy in the book Deuteronomy and the Death of Moses. The author believes that although Deuteronomy has tension in both literature and theology, there are several themes that can unify it. The "Death of Moses" that runs through the entire volume of Deuteronomy hints at the possibilities and limitations of human power. Olsen brought a new approach to theological interpretation for readers with an atypical way of annotation. The book points out that the death of Moses is a model of self-sacrifice and a crisis of powerlessness in the face of the "New Testament". Therefore, this book turns Deuteronomy into a preface to the gospel and the death of Christ.
This book is not a commentary on Deuteronomy, but it helps us use other commentaries. Combining this book and other "Deuteronomy" notes will help us to go deep into this important book in the Old Testament.
[Recommendation]
"Although "Deuteronomy and the Death of Moses" is very similar in form to the commentary, it is not a commentary. It brings readers a whole new approach to exegetical writings—combining all traditional concerns. Placed within the scope of the questionable text, and at the same time integrated with a set of annotations with a broader perspective. This book not only introduces the recognized key issues in Deuteronomy, but also introduces the text itself, but more importantly From the beginning to the end, this book is dedicated to let us understand the eternal theological heritage in Deuteronomy.
--Christopher Seitz, Toronto Seminary
Olsen's investigation of Deuteronomy is not an annotation, but it is an excellent aid to any annotation book you might use. The English publisher of this book, Wipf & Stock Publishers, has a good reputation. They have republished many exquisite out-of-print books, so you might as well take a look. This book can help you understand the form and structure of "Deuteronomy". With this book, coupled with Craigie's "Deuteronomy Notes" (NICOT), you can concentrate on studying the volume of "Deuteronomy" which is very important. Even the most important book in the Old Testament. Pick it up and read it!
