The whole point of this exercise is not saying that this is the way to preach Deuteronomy, but that this method will help you to preach in a Biblical theological framework in a way that gets the OT text to set the agenda, and so that the God who talks can change lives.
Your final package may look completely different to this, but that's because of the magnificent depth of God's word.
