5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Work By A Great Scholar
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2008
Verified Purchase
This is a great work by one of evangelicalism's greatest experts on the topic. From a solidly conservative perspective, the author expounds this foundational book of Moses in a highly knowledgeable manner, being well-informed by scholarship from all sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trustworthy!
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2017
Eugene Merrill is a name you can trust. Without fail, his writings are clear, conservative, and helpful. This title is on one of the most important books in the OT. Jesus often quoting Deuteronomy proves that fact. Fortunately, this volume is in the economical, pastor-friendly New American Commentary (NAC) series that many pastors like me absolutely love.

Merrill begins the Introduction by explaining the meaning of the title, and then slides into date and authorship. Critics have been especially abusive to Deuteronomy, so it’s nice to have a strong case made for those of us who accept the Bible as God’s Word without reservation. He succinctly describes the historical background for us too. He analyzes structure to good effect, briefly describing the path of sometimes wobbly scholarship before bringing us back to good sense. He sees no credible evidence to question the canonicity of Deuteronomy. After providing an outline, he gives us what he calls “analysis of the contents of the book”. It is well done. He ends the Introduction with a fine overview of the theology of Deuteronomy.

The commentary itself is superb and much more trustworthy than those of many other series. Every passage I perused gave the kind of help I like to receive.

This book is an excellent addition for every pastor or teacher. I highly recommend it.

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strong on Unity Weak on Theology
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2005
I compared this commentary to Thompson (TOTC) and Craigie (NICOT). Merrill helps you see the rationale for the structure of Deuteronomy. He is much better at it than Craigie and especially better than Thompson. Merrill really helps you see the unity in Chapters 12-26, the section of the book that seems full of unrelated parts.

Merrill disappoints however in His lack of theological depth. There are places in Deuteronomy where the theology is as deep as a river, and Merrill will only wade to his ankles. Take for example Deuteronomy 8:3 "Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Merrill's comments: God allowed "them to hunger and then to be fed by the miraculous supply of manna . . . an act so clearly supernatural that the poeple had to recongnize that it was all God and not of themselves. . . . There are relative values in life, and one of them is that spiritual food is more important than physical." Compare to Craigie's masterful comments:

"The severity of the wilderness period undermined the shallow bases of confidence of those who were not truly rooted and grounded in God. The wilderness makes or breaks a man; it provides strength . . . not the strength of self-sufficiency, but the strength that comes from a knowledge of the living God. When the people were hungry, God fed them manna . . . designed to teach the Israelites a fundamental principle of their existence. . . The basic source of life was God and the words of God to his people; every utterance of the mouth of the Lord was more basic to Israelite existence than was food."

Merrill waded, but Craigie plunged in. There are other places in which this weakness of Merrill's is evident. Compare Merrill with Thompson on 10:14-15. Merrill states the facts of the verse like a car maintenance manual. Thompson has marveled at the significance of God's self-existence and written a page of profound theological meditation (it's on page 148 of his commentary).

Merrill may have some places in his commentary where he is more theologically reflective, but from what I've seen so far, it is not his strength.

In short, Merrill can make sense of the structure of Deuteronomy, but Craigie and Thompson are invaluable for their depth of theological reflection. Own all three.
