Das Exodusbuch heute lesen

The Way to Freedom – the biblical Book of Exodus narrates the departure of Israel from the house of slavery in Egypt, making it one of humanity's most well-known traditions. Konrad Schmid presents the essential biblical passages of Israel's exodus from Egypt in a concise and understandable manner. He analyzes the historical backgrounds while also highlighting the modern impacts of the Book of Exodus, which has established itself in modern times as a foundational narrative of human aspirations for freedom. Central to this is the idea that Israel is bound not to any earthly power, but only to its God. The Reformation utilized the symbolism of the Exodus to emphasize human freedom against the authority of the institutional church. Martin Luther King also drew parallels between the American civil rights movement and the biblical Exodus. In addition to ecclesiastical and political events, receptions in Judaism, Islam, art, music, and film further illustrate the enormous impact of the Book of Exodus and the significance of the path to freedom.
