Exodus recounts the origins of ancient Israel, but it is also a book of religious symbols. How should it be interpreted, especially in light of modern historical-critical study? In this addition to an acclaimed series, a respected scholar offers a theological reading of Exodus that highlights Aquinas's interpretations of the text. As with other volumes in the series, this commentary is ideal for those called to ministry, serving as a rich resource for preachers, teachers, students, and study groups.
Reviews
Overall, then, this isn't a commentary I'd recommend to many preachers - except perhaps those in, say, an Anglican context with some folk with Anglo-Catholic formation - beyond the outline piece. It is too tentative, not particularly textual, and Roman Catholic in a way which detracts and distracts from the text.
[Full Review]
Excellent commentary that draws on the fourfold sense of scripture in dialogue with St. Thomas Aquinas (who wrote many Biblical commentaries, but not one on Exodus). Very insightful!
