| Résumé : |
To read Exodus is to encounter the richly intertwined themes of revelation, redemption, relationship, and remembrance.
To read Göran Larsson's commentary, Bound for Freedom, is to experience afresh these vibrant themes within a vast network of biblical and post-biblical intertexts. Following the example of the rabbis he has extensively studied, the author explores the webs of conceptual linkages within the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament. He engages texts from contemporary Egyptian and Canaanite cultures that inform our understanding of the Exodus narrative. Careful to investigate the implications of the Hebrew text, Larsson demonstrates that those dynamic words repeatedly come alive for succeeding generations of interpreters, culminating in his persistent and emphatic appeals to the hearts and intentions of his own readers. His sensitivity to the vital roles of women in the narratives is heartening. His presentation of a wealth of interpretive insights from rabbinic sources, Josephus, and Philo is enriching. His burden to overcome the longstanding misinterpretations of “law and grace” that have led to disastrous displays of triumphalism is sobering. Larsson does not avoid the difficult theological questions that arise in conjunction with the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart, with lex talionis, with the continuity of Cod’s covenant with Israel, or with the relationship of Gentile believers to the Sinai covenant. Readers should find themselves challenged to re-visit these and other issues.” (Elaine A. Phillips) |
