The Book of Deuteronomy served as a kind of constitution for ancient Israel and later Judaism. The so-called Law of Offices, a passage at its center (Deut. 16:18-18:22), defines the roles of judges, kings, priests, and prophets. The essays in this book consider the significance of the text for today's theologians, political theorists, and legal scholars.
