Relating to or resembling the Book of Deuteronomy; having the character of a second or supplementary statement of laws and principles.
From Deuteronomy plus the suffix '-ical,' forming a variant adjective. This longer form appears in formal theological and biblical scholarship.
Biblical scholars debate whether Deuteronomy was written during the time of Moses or much later—some think it was added to 'update' biblical law, making it literally a 'second law' written at a different time.
