On the road to Emmaus, Jesus revealed Himself in all the Scriptures . . . . . . we are told that Jesus started with Moses, and Moses' story starts with the Great Escape. Like the Gospels, Exodus tells a myth-story through the events of remarkable but real history. In it, God initiates a new community through a substitute sacrifice, a baptism through water and fire and the gift of a covenant of provision and presence. In this 4th book in the 'Jesus in the Old Testament' series, Christen helps us see the Jesus parallels and implications of Exodus while setting events in their proper socio-historical context.
