Exodus by Brevard S Childs

Exodus by Brevard S Childs

Taking a pioneering approach to commentary writing, Brevard Childs gives an entirely original treatment to the book of Exodus. Apart from the philological notes and translation, this commentary includes a form-critical section, looking at the growth of the tradition in its previous stages; a consideration of the meaning of the text in its present form; and a consideration of its meaning in its total Old Testament context. This volume is now available in a new casebound edition.

The Old Testament Library provides fresh and authoritative treatments of important aspects of Old Testament study through commentaries and general surveys. The contributors are scholars of international standing.

Brevard S. Childs was Sterling Professor of Divinity, Emeritus at Yale Divinity School (New Haven, Connecticut). He was the author of several Fortress Press books: Introduction to the Old Testament as Scripture (1979), Old Testament Theology in a Canonical Context (1989), and Biblical Theology of the Old and New Testaments (1993).
