Exodus (Teach the Text Commentary Series)

For sheer spectacle, you can hardly beat the book of Exodus: a murderous king, God’s appearance to Moses in the burning bush, the series of miraculous signs in Egypt, the Passover, the parting of the Sea of Reeds, and the giving of the law at Mount Sinai. The events of Exodus form the foundation for understanding God and his plan of salvation, serving as the paradigm for the saving ministry of Jesus Christ. God delivers the nation of Israel out of Egypt, but more importantly, he comes to dwell in their midst, beginning the restoration of the broken fellowship with humanity that began at the fall. T. Desmond Alexander skillfully comments on this important biblical text, providing key background information, theological nuances, and interpretive insights to help pastors, teachers, and readers understand and apply the lessons of Exodus to the Christian life today.
