Overview Best-selling author John MacArthur provides a twelve-week, in-depth, unique look at the Old Testament. Each of the twelve study guides examines the Old Testament in a new light: from historical, character, and thematic angles. Each study is divided into four sections: one lesson sets the stage; five lessons overview the historical period; four lessons focus on a personality; and two lessons look at a special topic or doctrine. Perhaps one of the most widely known and loved biblical stories is that of Moses and the exodus from Egypt. In The Exodus from Egypt, Dr. MacArthur examines this tumultuous and fascinating time in the history of God's chosen people, reveling in a story rich with meaning and historical significance. Looking closely at the characters of Moses and Aaron, Jacob and Caleb readers will connect to the text with deeper understanding as the themes of service to God and justice verses mercy are explored.
Publishers Description They first moved to Egypt as honored guests, but they left as despised slaves, pursued by Pharaoh's army. The Israelites set out on a great exodus from Egypt to Canaan, but their journey took a dramatic detour as they spent forty years wandering in the wilderness.

"The Exodus from Egypt" takes an in-depth look at the historical period, beginning with God's calling of Moses, continuing through the giving of the Ten Commandments, and concluding with Moses' death. Studies include close-ups of Moses, Aaron, Caleb, and others, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes, such as "In God's Service" and "Justice versus Mercy."
