AB Deuteronomy is the most important document of reform of two movements, who wanted to conserve the authenticity of the identity of Israel as Yahweh-community: a movement of restoration under King Josiah, which was primarily cultically and politically-oriented, and a strongly socially-oriented movement of return in the time of the Babylonian Exile. The three societal forms with which Israel experimented throughout its history are at the same time reflected in the legal and social order of the Deuteronomic Torah. Therefore, Deuteronomy constitutes the Old Testament 'theology of God's People, the theory for the social inner life of a 'civilization of love' - or, in modem terms, a kind of ecclesiological systematics. The paper is an attempt at revealing this through the means of history and literary science, and especially from the perspective of the Sociology of Knowledge. In other words, it is to be revealed as the formulation of Israel's symbolic universe, determined by specific political, economical, social and religious assumptions which at the same time reflect and regulate this symbolic universe - the latter being the world-view of the Yahweh faith.
