E-Books →The God Who Makes Himself Known The Missionary Heart of the Book of Exodus

- the Lord humbled Pharaoh so the world would know that only God can save
- the Lord gave Israel the law so that its people might display his goodness to the nations, living in a state of order and blessing
- the Lord dealt with Israel's idolatry severely, yet mercifully, for his goodness cannot be known if his glory is compromised
In the end, Exodus not only sheds important light on the church's mission, but also reveals what kind of God the Lord is, one who pursues his glory and our good, ultimately realizing both as he makes himself known in Christ Jesus.Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
