Cohort Description
Michael Morales will introduce lay people, students, teachers, and pastors to the structure, major themes, and theology of the Book of Exodus. Taking a literary approach, participants will learn how the narratives of Exodus employ key words, word-play, literary structure, and other rhetorical devices to lead readers into layers of meaning, an approach that will shape the way one reads the rest of the Bible—the Torah, Historical Books, and Gospels.
This course will set Exodus within the literary context of the Torah, and interpret its content in relation to its original function in the life of Israel. We will explore Exodus as the foundation for theology proper—how the LORD God revealed himself through the events of the exodus and Israel’s stay at Mount Sinai. Along the way, students will explore Moses’ divine training for leadership of Israel, how the wilderness journeys functioned as preparation for Israel’s embrace of the Sinai covenant, the theological and symbolic significance of the Tabernacle, and much more.
We will trace major themes into the rest of the Hebrew Scriptures and explore how the authors of the New Testament understood the Son’s advent within the lens of the anticipated new exodus led by Messiah.

- W. Ross Blackburn, The God who Makes Himself Known: The Missionary Heart of the book of Exodus (NSBT; IVP/Apollos, 2012)
