In this volume, Eugene Carpenter interacts with the most current scholarship and analyzes the Hebrew text to trace this important theme through Exodus. Throughout his commentary, Carpenter demonstrates how Exodus interacts with the rest of the Old Testament and offers suggestions for applying Exodus to the church.

Eugene Carpenter’s magnum opus is impressive in its scholarly breadth and depth. This commentary highlights the history and theology of Exodus. In Dr. Carpenter’s view, these two are mixed inseparably: ‘History cannot be scuttled in Exodus; it is part of the texture and matrix of theological truth.’
—Dr. Wayne McCown, provost emeritus, Roberts Wesleyan College, and founding dean emeritus, Northeastern Seminary
