title: Echoes of Exodus: Tracing a Biblical Motif
author: Bryan D. Estelle
description: "In this work one finds a mature reflection of the importance of the exodus paradigm throughout Scripture that is sensitive to both diachronic and synchronic concerns in locating this paradigm within the wider biblical-theological landscape. Readers of this volume will not only appreciate the insights this study generates in the reading of particular biblical books and individual passages, they will also be rewarded by the guidance this volume provides in navigating through numerous contested issues in contemporary biblical scholarship. As such, both introductory and advanced students will benefit from this study." (David W. Pao, professor of New Testament and chair of the New Testament department, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School)<br /><br />"Estelle deftly guides the reader, from Genesis through Revelation, to a central teaching of the Biblethe exodus of the Israelites and the unrivaled rule of God. Drawing from a well of primary and secondary sources, this well-written volume is carefully researched and hermeneutically sensitive. Most of all, this book gazes at Christs work in delivering his people from the slavery of sin and leading them through the waters of redemption. Certainly recommended!" (Benjamin L. Gladd, associate professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary)<br /><br />"Scripture presents salvation in Jesus Christ through the grammar of Israels exodus out of Egypt. Estelles book, pulling together the riches of current scholarship on the topic, ably sets forth how the New Testament authors conveyed the wonders of Christs new exodus after the theological pattern of the old. Along the way, <em>Echoes of Exodus</em> demonstrates the unity of both Gods purposes and his word." (L. Michael Morales, professor of Biblical Studies, Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary)<br /><br />"Informed by classic Reformed theology and the most modern methods, Bryan Estelle presents what may be the most careful and extensive study of the exodus available. His study is a model of an intertextual and biblical theological study of a theme in Scripture, and not just any theme, but one of crucial importance to understanding the message of salvation in the gospel. I recommend this book to all serious students of the Bible and to pastors who want to preach in a way that honors the coherence of Scripture."

  Daniel Knox was walking north along Sharia Bab Sedra when he saw the
  earthenware bowl on the street-trader’s flapped-out tablecloth. It was filled
  with matchbooks and packets of white napkins, and it was propping up one end
  of a line of battered Arabic schoolbooks. His heart gave a little flutter; he
  suffered a moment’s déjà vu. He’d seen one like it before, he was sure of it.
  Somewhere interesting, too. For a few seconds he almost had the answer, but
  then it eluded him, and the feeling slowly faded, leaving him merely uneasy,
  unsure whether his mind was playing tricks.
  
  He paused, crouched, picked up a garish plastic vase with wilting ar
