The multi-author nature of the text of the Hebrew Bible has led biblical scholars to postulate its creation by centuries of writers who collected, compiled, revised, edited, and interpreted ancient traditions.
Biblical scholars have deduced that Deuteronomy, which calls itself Scroll of the Torah, was edited centuries after the purported Moses made sermons on behalf of Yahweh. The book of Deuteronomy is attributed to a group that scholars call the Deuteronomic or Deuteronomistic School. The Deuteronomists modified pre-existing, Covenant Code laws in light of new, more humanitarian ideas.
Deuteronomy differs from other books of the Torah in its rhetorical tone and its emphasis on centralization of the cult, and its treatment of the monotheistic deity as an aural abstraction. The Torah is now viewed as a covenant -- binding to King and subjects that has been made with each generation. Unlike other Ancient Near Eastern vassal treaties, Deuteronomy emphasizes reciprocal love -- meaning loyalty between vassal and suzerain. On the other hand, the Israelites are not to marry the Canaanites, instead they are expected to utterly destroy the Canaanites. For the first time, Deuteronomy describes the Israelites as Yahweh's chosen people, and reminds its elect that Yahweh loves them on sufferance. The theme of providential concern explains Yahwehs choice of Israel as evidence of favour that is not based on the perfection of the chosen. The deuteronomists used analogies of husband and wife, or parent and child, to explain Yahweh's preference for Israel.
