Scholars often call Deuteronomy the “Romans of the Old Testament” because of its foundational teachings on ethics, law, and grace. In this class, we will first explore how New Testament authors understood Deuteronomy—and the law as a whole—under the New Covenant. Then, we will turn our attention to understanding how Deuteronomy can help shape our worldview by studying the historical context, literary design, and wisdom of the book.
In this lesson, we dive into Deuteronomy 6 to explore the profound connection between a holy fear of God and an all-consuming love for Him. By unpacking the original Hebrew words for heart, soul, and might in the Shema, we discover what it truly means to internalize God’s commands. Join us to learn how to practically weave this ancient wisdom into your daily decisions, your physical life, and your everyday conversations.
