It was Moses's final address that immortalized him. His parting words became a book, Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Bible. In it, he told the nation its story from his own personal perspective. In The Last Words of Moses, Dr. Micah Goodman offers an original reading of Deuteronomy that sheds light on some of the book's most penetrating insights. The weak nation of slaves that left Egypt is about to be transformed into a ruling power in the land of Canaan. Moses seeks to prepare the people for this new reality, to teach them to defend themselves from the moral and spiritual danger inherent in the transition from weakness to strength. The similarity between the biblical story and the Zionist story is remarkable. Dr. Goodman finds, in the voice of Moses, a relevant guide for the people who entered the land in those days - and it is no less relevant for those living in the land today.
