In the 2013 article “Summaries of Israel’s Story” (SIS) by Jason Hood and Matthew Emerson, a list of story summaries from Scripture and ancient literature was compiled. Chris Bruno, Jared Compton, and Kevin McFadden used the criteria of Hood and Emerson’s article to perform a book-length analysis on New Testament story summaries in 2020 called “Biblical Theology According to the Apostles.” The work in apostolic biblical theology has been called “a remarkable precedent” by Brian Rosner, but much remains to consider regarding Old Testament story summaries and their relation to biblical theology. This paper will seek to answer what contributions a single SIS from Hood and Emerson’s list (Deut. 26:5-10a) make to our study of biblical theology. In other words, how was Israel retelling its own story in the first stages of its existence and what can we learn from its presentation in the Scriptures? To answer this question, the paper will apply Bruno, Compton, and McFadden’s method of context, content, and contribution to Deuteronomy 26:1-11. First, the context of the passage will be analyzed to answer questions concerning the summary’s reason for occurring and its location in Scripture. Second, exegesis will be performed on the passage to consider which events are selected for the summary and what they tell us about the biblical worldview the Israelites were to believe. Third, some final contributions to biblical theology will be proposed, one of which comes in the thesis of this paper: praxis and belief were meant to be inseparably integrated in the Israelite mind. The notion that these two were inseparable highlights the hamartiological realities experienced by human beings when compared against the backdrop of the entire Old Testament story that is largely a story of Israel’s disobedience. Said another way, even if one mentally assents to the true metanarrative, their ability to live in accordance with it is hindered by sin. This demonstrates the necessity of historical progression towards the coming messianic figure. Israel believed a story but could not live in accordance with that story and so even from the earliest stages of their existence, was to have an expectation of someone who would enable them to live according to the worldview they received from God.
