The Exodus was a dominant and defining story in the Jewish nation; life and faith – and it became one 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.
