Exodus Syllabus and Class Materials


Class #1 - Judah and Joseph In this first class, we will transition from Genesis to Exodus by examining the background to the 12 tribes of Israel. In particular, we will spend considerable time towards understanding how Israel immigrated to Egypt and settled into Goshen through the Joseph and Judah centric narratives.

Class #2 - Israel in Egypt  In this class, we will study the background and introduction to the Exodus narratives, through the life of Moses. In particular, we will examine Moses’ call narrative and attempt to understand how God calls forth His under-shepherds in preparation of His executing His great works.

Class #3 - Vessels of Destruction  We read that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart and “raised him up” to glorify Himself. This troubling narrative raises all sorts of questions. Reformed doctrine asserts the existence of the Elect for God’s sovereign purposes. Conversely, there are vessels of destruction created for God’s sovereign purposes (Romans 9:22). In this class, we will examine this theological concept.

Class #4 - Passover Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed for us! In this class, we will read about the First Passover and study Passover as a Jewish institution. We will also examine the New Testament significance of Passover, through the Crucifixion.  There are no materials for this class, as I usually invite Jews for Jesus to come and host the Passover Ceder.

Class #5 - The Ten Commandments Exodus 20 introduces the 10 Commandments. We will attempt to understand the structure and framework of the 10 Commandments within the ANE covenant structures of their era, as well as their theological significance.
