In this book, Bryan Estelle explores how the exodus event from Egypt becomes a persistent and evolving literary motif throughout the Bible. He argues that the exodus ultimately becomes a synecdoche for salvation in general, connecting it to creation, the New Covenant, and the second exodus experience of the return from exile. The study covers various biblical books, including Genesis, Exodus, Psalms, Isaiah, Mark, Matthew, Luke-Acts, Paul's letters, and Revelation, demonstrating the unity of God’s purposes and his word. Estelle's work is informed by classic Reformed theology and modern hermeneutical methods, making it a valuable resource for students, biblical theologians, preachers, and teachers of the Word.
The Exodus Way E1 — Most followers of Jesus are familiar with three foundational biblical stories: the story of Jesus in the gospels, the creation story in Genesis, and the Exodus story. These narratives are referred to throughout the whole Bible, but the Exodus story is the most referenced story. Why is this narrative in Exodus so important? In this episode, Jon and Tim start a new series on the narrative theme of Exodus, what we’re calling the “Exodus Way,” showing how this story shapes the Bible’s whole view of reality.
