For those more accustomed to reading commentaries on books of the Bible this is a welcome change and variation. Exploring Exodus is a thematic collection of essays from a group of authors associated with the Moore Theological College , Sydney Australia. For most of us the key events of Exodus are very familiar and encrusted with stereotyped recollections influenced by childhood over-simplification and Hollywood miss-representation. Exploring Exodus provides the reader with a welcome and refreshing overview of this highly significant and foundational book of Jewish and Christian scripture. This is intended to augment rather than replace a good commentary on Exodus and includes chapters looking at the contemporary treatments of aspects of the book as well as effective communication of the messages embedded within the text through preaching. Exploring Exodus will be enlightening to the interested reader as well as an invaluable tool for the Bible teacher and preacher. The breadth of authors ensures a diversity of styles but a cohesive opinion that there is a rich wealth of teaching throughout the whole of this wonderful Bible book that needs to be given greater significance in the wider church.
