Exodus: Saved for God's Glory

To read Exodus is to encounter God. The book is about the mercy,
justice, holiness, and glory of almighty God, who rules history by
his sovereign power, saves the people of his covenant, and delivers
his people from bondage. Once heard, the stories recorded in Exodus
leave a lasting impression. Readers return to these great acts of
redemption again and again because they give captives the hope of
freedom.

In this Preaching the Word volume, Philip Graham Ryken mines the
majestic book of Exodus for knowledge of God's character and
instruction for his followers. So much can be learned about God
through the accounts of his deliverance of the Israelites from
Egypt, his many divine interventions for them, and his
transformation of them into an independent nation.

At once theologically instructive and decidedly practical, this
commentary moves readers to great rejoicing at God's work in the
life of every person following him on the path to spiritual
freedom. Ryken skillfully relates how the Israelites' deliverance
from slavery anticipated the salvation accomplished in Jesus
Christ, proving that God remembers his covenant and always delivers
on his promises. For those who preach, teach, and study God's Word,
this book is more than just a commentary; it is a celebration of
God's faithfulness.
