AUTHOR: From the earliest times, students of scripture have held Moses to be the author of Deuteronomy and the other four books of the Pentateuch. Direct Mosaic authorship is claimed in Deuteronomy 31:24. Deuteronomy is quoted over 80 times in the New Testament and Jesus Himself quotes from the book more than from any other Old Testament book and identifies Moses as its author.

We find in Deuteronomy a series of addresses by Moses warning the Israelites whom he was soon to leave of the dangers of forgetfulness. Beware! Lest you forget, he says again and again.
