The People’s Bible: Discourses Upon Holy Scripture, The Book of Exodus
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The People’s Bible is not a commentary in the usual sense. Rather than providing a technical treatise for the scholar, word or phrase by phrase, the People’s Bible is a pastor’s commentary that focuses primarily on those sections of Scripture that are of obvious and immediate value for the spiritual growth of the soul. Rather than working through the minutiae of critical discussion and analysis, Joseph Parker focuses on discovering the governing idea and principle purpose of each book of Scripture. Exodus is a book of providence, in leadership, national deliverances, organization, and the establishment of God’s commandments for life. It shows how the tabernacle of God is with men upon the earth as both a refuge and a place of judgment.
