The Book of Deuteronomy employs a variety of literary techniques to promoteits reception, which makes it a paradigmatic case of proto-canonicalliterature. Deuteronomy’s claim to authority is derived in two ways. It reactsto the Neo-Assyrian rhetoric of hegemonic power and it revises a pre-existingcollection of laws transmitted in the Covenant Code. Deuteronomy wassubversively rewritten and interpreted, but at the same time its promotion ofits own reception proved successful in its actual transmission. Deuteronomyis explored as an example of the productive ambivalence of Scriptural authorityin its literary expression and its socio-historical contexts.
