A Call to Commitment

The Book titled A Call to Commitment: An Exegetical and Theological
Study of Deut 10,12-11,32  published by Echter Verlag under
Forschung Zur Bibel series is an exegetical and theological work by
Thomas Karimundackal. It is resourceful, ingenious and a work of
great proficiency by the author. He has perceptively tried to prove
that Dt 10, 12-11, 32 could be considered as a summary of the
preceding sections (Dt 1, 1-10, 11) and a link to the succeeding
sections (12, 1-34, 12) of Deuteronomy. Further it could be taken as
a hermeneutical key to understand and to interpret the theology of
Deuteronomy. To prove this scientifically, the author has employed
mostly a synchronic method to arrive at a coherent theological
interpretation, to point out the theological significance, to trace the
possible connections of the text within the compositional frame of
Deuteronomy and to the rest of the Old Testament. Consequently,
it draws out its contextual meaning and significance for the World
of today.
