X I will not go into detail here about the format of the book (see my review of "Genesis" in this series for that). But I do want to point out several items of interest specific to this volume on the book of Exodus. Maps of Moses' flight/return to Egypt and the exodus from Egypt with the subsequent wandering are very helpful. An illustration of the plan of the Tabernacle makes true the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. A chart tying the plagues on Egypt to "the gods of Egypt" (i.e., showing how God is bringing judgment on those "gods") brings an interesting dimension to these episodes. And the two topical essays, on the date of the Exodus and the multiplication of legal laws after the golden-calf incident, are fascinating. In fact, a happy addition relevant to the latter essay is a three page section at the end of the commentary quoting some Church Fathers and Aquinas regarding the matter. I hope the authors will consider including more of the Fathers and Doctors in future volumes as well. I was glad to see six blank pages at the end of the volume for note-taking during Bible study. One very minor quibble: For some reason the cover design was changed a bit from what it was on the "Genesis" volume; still similar but they don't quite match up. As expected, Hahn and Mitch hit another one out of the park with this latest release. A must have for a serious study of Exodus, but valuable to all readers who want to have a better understanding of this exciting and challenging second book of the Pentateuch. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Based on the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition, this volume leads readers through a penetrating study of the book of Exodus, using the biblical text itself and the Church's own guidelines for understanding the BIble. Ample notes accompany each page, providing fresh insights and commentary by renowned Scripture scholars Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, as well as time-tested interpretations from the Fathers of the Church. These helpful study notes explain what the biblical authors often assumed. They also provide rich historical, cultural, geographical, and theological information pertinent to Exodus." - back cover.
