| 520 | |a In this book, the author brings real evidence of a historical basis for the exodus. The biblical account of millions fleeing Egypt may be an exaggeration, but the exodus itself is not a myth. The author reveals how much is at stake when we explore the historicity of the exodus. The implications, he writes, are monumental. We learn that it became the starting point of the formation of monotheism, the defining concept of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Moreover, we learn that it precipitated the foundational ethic of loving one's neighbors--including strangers--as oneself. He concludes, the actual exodus was the cradle of global values of compassion and equal rights today.-- |c From publisher's description. | ||
