The stories in the book of Exodus are central to faith of
both Jews and Christians. For Jews, the stories tell of their liberation
from slavery to Pharaoh to become servants of
YHWH. For
Christians, they are the framework for understanding the death of Jesus
Christ, the "lamb who was slain." The stories drive to the heart of the
questions of "who are God's people", and "who is the God who saves."
The
text of Exodus is a culmination of recitations over many generations, as
commanded by God in
Exodus 12:24-27. It contains several types of
literature: narrative, law, and liturgy. The stories may be considered a
faithful retelling, concerned primarily with giving theological
meaning to the history of the people of Israel.
We studied Exodus in an eleven part series from April 18,
2004 to July 18, 2004. We based the series' divisions on the bible study From Slavery to Service: A Study of
Exodus, by Diane L. Jacobson, Augsburg Fortress, Minneapolis, 1996
ISBN 0-8066-2978-9.
