What might the biblical story of the Exodus mean for people struggling for freedom today?
In Deliverance from Slavery, Dutch theologian Dick Boer takes that question seriously, making liberation the organising thread of a bold reading of the Bible.
He traces the Exodus theme through covenant, creation and the idea of a people, and asks how biblical language can speak to modern movements for emancipation while retaining its original force.
