For many readers the Epistle to the Hebrews is among the most difficult books of the New Testament. Korean scholar Bong Chur Shin’s work provides a welcome insight into interpretive issues for the biblical scholars. The book provides an exegetical framework which helps readers navigate the meaning of the text. Shin examines the epistle in the light of the New Testament’s ‘New Exodus’ imagery. This book discusses the underlying themes of Hebrews. First of all, corporate deliverance, and Christ as a royal priest who (by means of his redeeming sacrifice) leads his people out of exile. He also provides for them during their pilgrimage journey. The author provides an interpretative key which helps unlock a fuller understanding of the epistle in its original context.

Revised version of the author's thesis (Ph.D.)--Dallas Theological Seminary, 2008.

With Israel's exodus out of Egypt, God established a pattern for the salvation of all his people—Israel and the nations—through Jesus Christ. In this ESBT volume, L. Michael Morales examines three redemption movements in Scripture: the exodus out of Egypt, the second exodus foretold by the prophets, and the new exodus accomplished by Jesus.

Israel’s exodus from Egypt is the Bible’s enduring emblem of deliverance. But more than just an epic moment, the exodus shapes the telling of Israel’s and the church’s gospel. In this guide for biblical theologians, preachers, and teachers, Bryan Estelle traces the exodus motif as it weaves through the canon of Scripture, wedding literary readings with biblical-theological insights.

Argues that Mark's primary concern is to present Jesus as the one who unexpectedly fulfills Isaiah's long-delayed ''new exodus.''

One of the most important stories to both the Eastern and Western worlds, as attested by several blockbuster films, is the Bible's account of ancient Israelites who resided in Egypt for over four centuries, then were freed from enslavement by an act of God. Yet until now, no strong case ever has been made to validate these events from the historical and archaeological record. For this reason, an extensive portion of the scholarly world has abandoned the picture presented by the historical record in the Bible, which indicates that Jacob's descendants grew into a nation within the comfort of a divinely prepared incubator, namely Egypt. In lieu of this time-honored account, many scholars have turned to speculative theories about how Israelite origins should be connected to Transjordan or locations even further to the east of the Holy Land, as numerous authors have documented. Are these alternative options appropriate when such minimal effort has been devoted to examining carefully and objectively whether Egypt, in fact, might be the correct location of their origins? An enormous amount of research and the synthesization of historical events and archaeological artifacts has led the author to verify Israelite residence in Egypt from 1876-1446 BC. This research is connected to the unexpected discovery of interconnecting archaeological, epigraphical, and iconographical evidence that attests to the presence of Israelites in Egypt over virtually the entire 430 years. By the sheer volume of verifiable evidence of complementary historical data-when comparing the biblical text and the artifactual and epigraphical record-the author attempts to demonstrate convincingly to objective readers that the biblical story of the Egyptian origins of the Hebrew 'nation' is reliable as a factual account.

In his Through New Eyes commentary on Hebrews, Douglas Wilson reviews the epistle writer's use of typology in describing the new covenant under the new high priest, Jesus Christ.
