NSBT 28: God Who Makes Himself Known
The Missionary Heart of the Book of Exodus.
The Lord's commitment to make himself known throughout the nations is the
overarching missionary theme of the Bible and the central theological concern
of Exodus.
Countering scholarly tendencies to fragment the text over theological
difficulties, Ross Blackburn contends that Exodus should be read as a unified
whole, and that an appreciation of its missionary theme in its canonical
context is of great help in dealing with the difficulties that the book poses.
For example, how is Exodus 6:3 best understood? Is there a tension between law
and gospel, or mercy and judgment? How should we understand the painstaking
detail of the tabernacle chapters?
From a careful examination of Exodus, Blackburn demonstrates that * 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.
Careful reading of this volume demands frequent pauses for reflection on " the inner-canonical connections that Blackburn unpacks with stimulating verve.
I am quite certain that most who work their way through this volume will never
be able to read Exodus in the same way they did before doing so. - D.A. " Carson
