Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Pentateuch, which is structured in terms of the five-point biblical covenant. Point five is inheritance/disinheritance. Deuteronomy conforms to point five.
These are appendixes.
A: "Modern Economics as a Form of Magic." In this, I show how the assumptions of modern neoclassical economics assume a degree of omniscience that is similar to magic. Equilibrium is inherently an assertion of divine knowledge.
B: "Individualism, Holism, and Covenantalism." This is a discussion of the three approaches to methodology.
C: "Syncretism, Pluralism, and Empire." Each of the ancient empires had a pantheon of gods. Politics was supreme. Modern empires do not have physical idols, but they still subordinate religions to politics.
D: "The Demographics of American Judaism." This is a discussion of the declining birth rate among secular Jews and its implications.
E: "Free Market Capitalism." This is my original essay in the book, Wealth and Poverty: Four Christian Views of Economics. The 1984 book is online here for free: http://bit.ly/ClouseWAP.
F: "The Economic Re-Education of Ronald J. Sider." This is a detailed review of 1997 edition of Sider's 1977 book, Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger. He abandoned many of his statist prescriptions and most of his Marxist rhetoric.
G: "Strong Drink." I discuss what the Bible says about booze.
H: "Week Reed: The Politics of Compromise." Here, I survey the supposedly Christian politics of Ralph Reed, the Enron advisor and associate of convicted criminal lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
I: "Eschatology, Law, and Pietism." How Christians' view the future shapes their views of activism.
J: "Categories of the Mosaic Law." These are land laws, seed laws, priestly laws, and cross-boundary laws. Only the last category is still operational.
