Description
Reviews
Religious Studies Review "This book will serve as a valuable resource, especially for beginning and intermediate readers of Exodus." Review of Biblical Literature "An accomplished work that achieves a remarkable feat of compression and completeness." Review of Biblical Literature "Hawkins demonstrates that he is well-informed about the research on Exodus, so that uninitiated students can learn much from him. The volume is written in a sympathetic, courteous style that quietly addresses the different readings of Exodus and does not polemically denounce views with which the author does not agree." Interpretation "Discovering Exodus is best read as a topical introduction of the contents of Exodus in relation to its ancient background, alongside a survey of its reception history from a Western (especially U.S.-American), Protestant Christian perspective."
