I am also indebted to the United Kingdom Arts and Humanities Research Council for providing a generous three-year doctoral scholarship, as well as to the Warden and Fellows of Keble College, Oxford, whose Gosden Scholarship allowed me to lay the groundwork for the present research during my Masters studies. I also owe adebtofgratitudetomyco-supervisorfortheMaster’sdissertation,Professor Markus Bockmuehl, for his insightful comments and suggestions. Portions of my research were previously published as ‘Genocide in Deuteronomy and Christian Interpretation’, in D. G. Firth and Philip S. Johnston (eds), Interpreting Deuteronomy: Issues and Approaches (2012). I am grateful to Inter-Varsity Publishing for granting permission to include material from thatarticleintothisbook. Without the humour, insights, and camaraderie of Wycliffe Hall’s Study Room 16, I would no doubt have gone mad or despaired: thank you!
