Book Description
The story of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt has been a
central story of Western culture for three millennia. Rabbi
Burton L. Visotzky, one of America's premiere proponents of
Bible narrative, tells these stories so that they are
accessible and urgent to yet another generation. Just as he
brought Genesis to millions of viewers through public
television and his best-selling book The Genesis of
Ethics, Visotzky now brings the Exodus narrative to life
with humor and style, combining the ancient commentaries of
the rabbis with his own unorthodox yet trenchant
observations. As the Exodus story proceeds from slavery to
freedom, from despair to hope, the reader is taken on a
journey of moral development and modern community building--a
powerful passage toward redemption.
