About

Moses is one of the great heroes of faith who is often thought of as a man with speech impediments and inarticulacy. However, in Deuteronomy, he is an eloquent orator as he presents his final valediction to the people of Israel.

In this study, Dr. Aniyankunju Joykutty argues that the book of Deuteronomy is neither a law code nor a covenant treaty document, but a skilful speech. Deuteronomy 1:6–30:20 is a single rhetorical unit revolving around the theme of Yahweh's grace displayed in the provision of land, providing the Torah, and renewing the covenant. Moses addresses the issues of Israel's lack of faith and memory, which continually leads to their rebellion and disobedience. His rhetorical intention is to lead his listeners to trust Yahweh's grace to overcome their defects; thus, he skilfully employs the rhetorical strategies of appeal through characterization, invoking emotions, and logical arguments. Critical and scholarly, Dr. Joykutty offers fresh theological insights for communities of faith to renew their trust in God and practical guidance for preachers who want to make greater use of rhetorical strategies in their sermons.
