Making the Ten Count
Throughout history, few OT texts have had as much impact on the church as the Ten Words (Exod 20:2–17 / Deut 5:6–21). In this essay, DeRouchie reflects on the lasting import of the Ten Commandments for Christians and helps clarify how the Ten Words themselves magnify...Deuteronomy as Didactic Poetry?
In 2007 Jason DeRouchie wrote a literary and linguistic critique of D. L. Christensen’s view that Deuteronomy is didactic poetry, as proffered in his revised 2001-02 two-volume Word Biblical Commentary. In this study, DeRouchie describes both the literary and...For Our Good Always
With a title adapted from Deuteronomy 6:24, For Our Good Always is a collection of twenty-five essays from evangelical scholars on the message of Deuteronomy and its influence on Christian Scripture. No other book colors the tapestry of biblical thought quite like...One Book, One Gospel, One Hope

Karen Jobes and Moisés Silva have written one of the most accessible introductions to the Greek Old Testament titled Invitation to the Septuagint (Baker, 2005). In DeRouchie’s review, published in Trinity Journal, he writes: “Comprehensive, well-informed,...Shepherding Wind and One Wise Shepherd
Are the “Preacher’s” words in Ecclesiastes orthodox, or are they more akin to the teachings of Job’s three friends? Is the main voice that of a skeptic, fatalist, or agnostic, or do we hear the words of a believing realist and godly sage? This essay attempts to...Five Facts About Loving God
What is the relationship between loving God and neighbor, and how can both Jesus and Paul say that loving our neighbor fulfills the law (Matthew 7:12; Romans 13:8; Galatians 5:14)? Isn’t love for God an even higher priority? Moses helps us answer these questions...DeRouchie’s Audio & Video Sites
