Exodus
Overview
Exodus is an amazingly eye-opening book, especially for Catholics! Learn how the Eucharist is prefigured by the Passover, discover the symbolism of the parting of the Red Sea, and more. This book has it all—murder, betrayal, plagues, idolatry, miracles—and it’s all true! Best of all, it is life changing: it is the Word of God.
Top Highlights
“God more than compensates Moses for whatever he lost by way of a natural capacity to view divine glory. Instead, Moses receives a far greater revelation—he’s enabled to experience something of God’s supernatural glory as it’s revealed in his covenant grace and mercy. This deep mystery is unknowable by the human mind and invisible to the natural eye—it’s the very essence of God’s inner life and the heart of the covenant. Moses comes out a winner in his exchange with God, because although he loses something of value (the natural ability to see God), he gains something infinitely more valuable (a supernatural experience of God’s very nature).” (Page 278)
“Covenant Code in the twenty-first through twenty-third chapters of the book of Exodus and other ancient Near Eastern legal documents such as the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi (believed to have been written about 1700 B.C.).” (Page 3)
“Moses and Aaron are declaring that Egypt and the other sons of Ham are on the wrong side of a very old schism and are worshiping false gods. The God of the universe is the God of the Hebrews, the God of Eber.” (Page 50)
“the historical narratives of Genesis and Exodus constitute law every bit as much as the Ten Commandments” (Page 12)
