Although there are divergent views regarding the specific details of this revolutionary program, most scholars agree that, in fundamental and profound ways, Deuteronomy was radical in its vision. This vision was expressed in key ideas: centralization of worship, secularization, and demythologization (of earlier traditions). However, Vogt argues that these ideas fail to account adequately for the data of the text of Deuteronomy itself. Instead, he claims, at the heart of Deuteronomic theology is the principle of the supremacy of Yahweh, which is to be acknowledged by all generations of Israelites through adherence to Torah. Thus, the book of Deuteronomy is in fact radical and countercultural but not in the ways that are usually adduced. It is radical in its rejection of ANE models of kingship and institutional permanence, in its emphasis on the holiness of life lived out before Yahweh, and in its elevation of Yahweh and his Torah.In the introductory chapter, the structure and ideology of the book are examined. Chapter 1 then examines some of the ways in which the theology of Deuteronomy has been understood, namely, in terms of centralization, secularization, and demythologization. Chapters 2?5 evaluate key texts that are used to support the idea that centralization, secularization, and demythologization are at the heart of the theology of Deuteronomy. An alternative reading of the texts is presented that highlights the supremacy of Yahweh and Torah. The final chapter investigates the theological and ideological implications of this alternative reading of key texts. 606 $aThora$2swd 606 $aTheologie$2gnd 606 $aTheology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01149559 606 $aRELIGION$xBiblical Studies$xOld Testament$2bisacsh 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 00$aThora. 615 0$aTheologie 615 0$aTheology. 615 0$aRELIGION$xBiblical Studies$xOld Testament. 676 $a222/.1506 700 $aVogt$b Peter T.$f1968-$01035961 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456475803321 996 $aDeuteronomic theology and the significance of Torah$92455964 997 $aUNINA
