In popular culture and for casual Christians, the Book of Exodus is best known as the rollicking saga of the ten plagues, the Red Sea crossing and escape from Egypt. But there is far more to this astoundingly rich and complex piece of literature than the story line. Exodus is the seminal charter myth of Judaism. As such, it establishes the many cultural principles that define the Hebrew people and their relationship with their national deity. Indeed, even before the Passover, the Ten Commandments, the golden calf party and a fearsome divine extravaganza at Mt. Sinai, the reader has been given a clue concerning the metamorphosis of the ancient Canaanite god El into Yahweh, the personal god of the Israelites. The purpose of the True Scripture Series is to make the Bible easier to understand and enjoy for believers and non believers alike. Most people learn their Bible stories in Sunday School, confirmation class or weekly church service, which significantly limits the material to which they are exposed. While many take comfort in various inspirational passages, very few people indeed have read the entire book. In popular culture and for casual Christians, the Book of Exodus is best known as the rollicking saga of the ten plagues, the Red Sea crossing and escape from Egypt. But there is far more to this astoundingly rich and complex piece of literature than the story line. True Scripture condenses what is actually written in the Bible into concise* and entertaining prose, including all of the surprising, amusing and sometimes disturbing details found in the original. The format is based on three levels of scholarship so readers may drill down to whatever level of investigation they choose.
