Deuteronomy has nothing to do with Christianity. The opening sentence, which says, "the fifth book of the Christian Old Testament" deserves further explanation.
I'm concerned that whoever wrote or amended this page has misconstrued the history of this book. To say that the book of Joshua was created in response to their exile is pure fantasy. The book of Joshua if redacted during the exile, was obviously based on earlier works. The author of this page completely disregards any alternative perspective on authorship and historicity. 220.233.33.91 ( talk) 23:29, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
The author of this section is mistaken about the traditions brought to Judah by Israelite refugees. Israelites did not worship Yahweh. Israelites worshiped El. The origins of Yahweh are Midianite.
What the Israelites did bring to Judah, were the legends of the patriarchs and the story of Joseph.
When the Priestly scribes subsequently began compiling these Israelite, Judean, and Deuteronomist sources into Torah, they were the ones who connected the dots from Joseph to Moses. Spodvoll ( talk) 16:57, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
The huge influence of the Deuteronomy on Islam. List of laws in the Qur'an directly inspired by the laws in Deuteronomy. 109.245.34.138 ( talk) 21:58, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
The Picture of a Hebrew Manuscript at the Beginning of the article shows the first verse of the book of Joshua. I don't know if that is important or not, but it might be interesting to have a picture of the first few verses of Deuteronomy since that is the subject of the article.
