Exodus: Teach the Text Commentary

To craft informed sermons, pastors scour commentaries that often deal more with minutia than the main point. Or they turn to devotional commentaries, which may contain exegetical weaknesses. The Teach the Text Commentary Series bridges this gap by utilizing the best of biblical scholarship and providing the information a pastor needs to communicate the text effectively. By concentrating each carefully selected preaching unit into six pages of focused commentary, each volume in this series allows pastors to quickly grasp the big idea and key themes of each passage of Scripture. Each unit of the commentary includes the big idea and key themes of the passage; sections dedicated to understanding, teaching, and illustrating the text; and full-color illustrations, maps, and photos.

In an innovative new release within this commentary series is T. Desmond Alexander's commentary on Exodus, which bridges the gap between the minutiae of academic resources and the exegetical vulnerabilities of devotional commentaries. Alexander here focuses on the theme of movement in Exodus-Moses' infancy, upbringing, and flight to Midian; Israel's dramatic escape from Egypt; God coming to dwell amidst his people; and the pillar of fire that leads the people toward the Promised Land.
