'Out of Egypt'

This study provides a panoramic view of how the Exodus motif is recapitulated and consummated in the New Testament. The first two chapters clarify methodology, establish the importance of the Exodus to Israel's worldview, and survey the developmental contours of the motif in the Old Testament. Subsequent chapters analyze conceptual and verbal indicators of Exodus/New Exodus allusions, storylines with Exodus parallels, and hermeneutical approaches with Exodus typology in the Gospels and Acts, Paul's epistles, Hebrews and the general epistles, and Revelation. Finally, the conclusion explores implications regarding the New Testament use of the Old Testament and the envisioning of biblical theology.Faith Lund (PhD, Evangel University) develops training materials for global workers overseas and through the Faith & Action Series.
