Synopsis

Exodus is a key element of the Hebrew Bible, the Christian 'Old Testament'. It tells the story of the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, and of the Ten Commandments and other laws given by God at Mount Sinai. But modern critical and historical studies have raised major problems. Can we accept the story of the deliverance? Is it legitimate to interpret the laws as all-embracing? This commentary gives full weight to those problems, but still finds in Exodus a story which can enlighten religious believers and grip non-believers.
