The Exodus was a dominant and defining story in the Jewish nation, life and faith—and it became one of the foundational ways in which His first followers understood Jesus and, in turn, how the New Testament writers explained who Jesus was and what He did. So this story also becomes a key for our understanding of Jesus, the early church and the New Testament, and for what it means for us to follow Jesus today.
Each chapter includes "Growing Hearing Communities" questions for reading and sharing in small groups or for personal reflection.
