Description: The book of Exodus is a story about "going out," and as such, it touches on something all of us have in common. Each of our lives is marked by different kinds of goings out and comings in. J. Gerald Janzen explains the story of the exodus from Egypt as both the story of a particular people and a revelation of God's concern for the liberation and redemption of all people. The lessons of Exodus are both encouraging and sobering - encouraging because they hold out hope for all who are oppressed by forces over which they have no control, and sobering because they caution the liberated not to perpetuate the evils under which they suffered.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 273-275).
