The Book of Exodus does more than develop the plot of the Book of Genesis. Genesis had taught us how to view ourselves in the land of Egypt. More broadly, Genesis had taught us how to view the whole world in relation to the God who creates and who saves. Exodus tells its magnificent history in ways that build on the lessons of Genesis. We can see that there is much more going on here than yet another tale of oppression and rescue. The God who made the world and who had already begun to redeem sinners, created something new by calling his people out of Egypt. We will see how this helps us to understand the Biblical Theology that the New Testament assumes.
