I thought maybe Kline's views of Deuteronomy and Hittite treaties was such that it led him to believe the opposite of the theonomic views of Deuteronomy.

That maybe the view that Deut. was copied by the Jews from the surrounding nations would almost mean that it did not originate from God. If it did not originate from God but was only "a good idea that the Jews should copy," it would have huge ramifications upon the theonomic views of Bahnsen since they had to do with reimplementing God's Laws back on man at some point in the future. To make the whole world one Jewish nation, so to speak.

Maybe I was reading too much into it.

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely?
