The following people and their noted resources are to be praised for their good work, and upon whose shoulders I stand.  We are stronger and more accurate in community.  Thank you to the following:

Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2009.  Chapter 8: Deuteronomy, pp.162-176, 14 pages.  It is from their outline that this entire study came about.  They give credit for this insight to how the Deuteronomic text is structured to the 1979 work of Stephen Kaufman.

(1.5) Ibid, chapter 6 "'Thou Shalt Not Remove Them:' What About the Ten Commandments?" contains an excellent argument of why Christians are no longer under the Ten Commandments as well as the rest of the Sinai Covenant.
