An Exegetical Study Of Deuteronomy 6:4-9 And Its Eductional/Missiological Implication In Africa

Elisha Kwabena Marfo & Henry Mark Tembo

Abstract

The passage of Deuteronomy 6 has long been debated, with approaches centering largely on traditional form criticism. From an exegetical perspective- especially examining such elements as clause, word order, verbal sequence – this study argues that from the context of the Hebrew Bible is better read as an injunction for education (teaching and learning) in its own right.
