First words |
[Foreword] Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully inquiring what person or time the spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. [Acknowledgements] One of the great joys of writing a book is the creative aspects of the endeavor. [Introduction] In the United States we refer to the three major automobile producers, General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, as the "Big Three." My wife and I once attended a play entitled All in the Timing, by David Ives. [Epilogue] As we have seen, the life of Moses, as revealed in the pages of the book of Exodus, was certainly extraordinary. | |

[Foreword] My hope and prayer remain the same as Tremper and Al's: that this series will continue to encourage the revival of interest in the Old Testament as a book that constantly points forward to Jesus Christ, to his sufferings and the glories that would follow. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) [Introduction] Exodus may be primarily about Moses, but it will utterly fail in its purposes if the life of Moses and the experiences of ancient Israel do not lead you to see the One who is like unto Moses!

All in all, it is an enjoyable, succint review of Gospel themes in Exodus, focused on Moses’ ministry. It only touches Moses’ life after Exodus, but does that competently. It has the feel of preaching, which is to be expected from a preacher (and US lawyer), sometimes descending into colloquial language and homely illustrations, often offering non sequiturs that would have gone down better in preaching (or better yet, conversation) than in the printed page; most notably the one on ‘household baptisms’, one of the lamest arguments for sprinkling babies but one of the most common in even the most gifted baby-sprinkling preachers, and as we sorely need good preachers and writers, that is a fault we can hardly dwell on much.
On the one hand, the sound Jesus in the Old Testament theology makes it fundamental for people like me who are still getting used to this approach to exegesis that Jesus practiced with his disciples in the road to Emmaus, and recommends the rest of ‘The Gospel according to the Old Testament’ series; on the other, if one can find and face a more substantial approach elsewhere, one may conceivably pass the rest of the series.
