The Use Of The Exodus In Interpreting History, Elaine Marie Prevallet
The Use Of The Exodus In Interpreting History, Elaine Marie Prevallet
Concordia Theological Monthly
Our study takes the complex of traditions grouped around the exodus as its point of departure. We shall consider the use made of this event at four stages in Israel's history and attempt to determine two factors: (1) whether the prophetic interpretation of the exodus event at a given period in Israel's history has been shaped by the historical situation and (2) whether the exodus event is used to interpret the historical situation. Finally, we may be able to draw some conclusions relative both to the Israelite view and use of history.
