Departures: Poems and Meditations on the Book of Exodus
Ebook
Overview
This is a devotional aid focused on the Book of Exodus, designed to take a New Testament lens to this second great inspired book in the Old Testament. It is this writer’s view that all the pictures, types, and shadows dwelling in the Old Testament have more to say to the modern Christian of today than to the original inhabitants of those narratives.
It has been said that there are truths that can be expressed in poetry better than in prose. Conversely there are truths that can be expressed in prose better than by poetry. In this unique and excellent work we see both most skillfully and sensitively woven together. . . . For the Christian, Exodus typifies the believer’s deliverance from the slavery of sin by the cross of Christ, and on through the pilgrimage of this world to the glory of heaven. P. D. Gray has produced a most helpful reflection on these great themes; an original, illuminating, and delightful work.
