Exodus is a compelling narra-tive of three characters: the God of Israel, who rescues a people in captivity after years of apparent silence; Moses, the leader of Israel, who reluctantly accepts his calling and goes on to become the giver of the Law; and the people of Israel, who struggle to be faithful to God after facing near extinction at the hands of its captors. In the weaving together of their stories, Exodus becomes a story for our time a story about seeking and finding a God who redeems us in our moments of separation and sih.
