Description
The God who Makes Himself Known: The Missionary Heart of the Book of Exodus by W. Ross Blackburn explores the central theological concern of the book of Exodus - the Lord's commitment to make himself known throughout the nations. In this study, Ross Blackburn argues that Exodus can be read as a unified whole, and that an appreciation of its missionary theme in its canonical context is essential for understanding its complex issues. By examining the text carefully, Blackburn demonstrates how the Lord's actions in Exodus reveal his character: humbling Pharaoh to show God's power, giving Israel the law to display his goodness, and dealing with idolatry severely yet mercifully. Ultimately, this book sheds important light on the church's mission and reveals what kind of God the Lord is - one who pursues both his glory and our good, ultimately realizing both as he makes himself known in Christ Jesus.
