Exodus (Believers Church Bible Commentary)
Waldemar Janzen
To whom does primary allegiance belong? To great human empires, or to the God whose elusive presence we can never fully grasp?

Waldemar Janzen offers a fresh approach to the book of Exodus. The liberation from Egypt is a prelude to Israel's unique calling to model before the nations a new life of service under God.

Through the subtly prepared servant Moses, God wages a dramatic battle with Egypt's ruler for the release of enslaved Israel. The watching Israel wavers: "Is the Lord among us or not?"

Even after Israel covenants to be God's priestly kingdom and holy nation, Israel worships a golden calf. Once more God's grace wrests Israel away, this time from slavery to doubts, fears, and self-centeredness. The people then focus faith on the imageless presence of God in their midst. God still wrestles for his people today.
