From the Publisher:

1) 'Carol Meyer's Exodus is part of the New Cambridge Bible Commentary series ... she guides readers through modern scholarship as she examines the historical, social, literary, and religious dimensions.' -- Church Times

It is intended to help the reader follow the story line of Exodus, understand its socio-cultural context, appreciate its literary features, recognize its major themes and values, and also note its interpretive and moral problems. Carol Meyers explains important concepts and terms as expressed in the Hebrew original so that those who know Hebrew as well as those who don't will be able to follow the text.… (meer)
