A Theology of Justice in Exodus by Nathan Bills
Traces the theme of justice through the whole narrative of Exodus. Explores how YHWH's reclamation of Israel for worship-service reveals a distinct theological ethic of justice that is grounded in YHWH's creational agenda.“This is an original, well-written and captivating account of the book of Exodus”
—Isabelle Hamley Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
“This book makes such a valuable contribution to our understanding of OT Theology. . . . Nathan Bills deserves congratulations for moving us all forward in our understanding of the OT as a profound theological work with vast implications for ministry today.”
—Mark W. Hamilton Restoration Quarterly
“This study successfully holds in balance (and sometimes in tension) careful analytical work with the text and broader theological conceptions and issues that arise and that in turn permit further critical interrogation of the text. It is a strength of the reading that it takes in the whole shape of the narrative of the book, incorporating initial struggle, combat, and resettlement in the tabernacle narrative.”
—Tremper Longman III, Westmont College
“Nathan Bills offers a reading of justice in Exodus against the horizon of creation: the oppression of Israel is a ‘cosmic affront,’ and the exodus itself is a re-creation of cosmic order. The whole book of Exodus is held in careful scholarly focus. The result is a deeply engaged study, and all quite beautifully written, finding in Exodus a ‘hermeneutical wardrobe’ that leads the reader ‘further up and further in’ towards creational justice.”
