BTR Review
A thorough treatment, dealing with each verse of Exodus. Childs assumes many of the standard results of Biblical Criticism, but he generally doesn’t allow himself to get too sidetracked from what the text actually says. His main interest is the final form (as per his ‘Canonical Criticism’).
Each section of the book provides:
1. Comprehensive bibliography
2. Detailed textual and philological notes
3. Literary, form-critical, and/or traditio-historical analysis
4. Old Testament context
5. New Testament context
6. History of exegesis
7. Theological reflection
