DISCUSSION
Answer the following questions after you have finished the lecture. They will help you
identify and summarize the major points.
• Why does the book of Deuteronomy address kings when it would be hundreds of years before Israel had a king?
If you are in a group, discuss how this aspect of Deuteronomy informs the doctrine of Scripture. How does it speak
to Scripture’s inspiration, authority, or sufficiency?
• How does death in Deuteronomy correspond to Jesus’ death on the cross?
If you are in a group, have the members discuss any parallels they see between Deuteronomy, the New Testament,
and Christian life today.
• What changed between the Israelites’ first losing battle with the Amorites and their victory forty years later?
If you are in a group, read aloud Psalms 135 and 136, which celebrate these victories over Sihon and Og.
What might the Israelites have thought or felt about God or themselves as they sang these psalms?
