About Five Views on the Exodus: Historicity, Chronology, and Theological ImplicationsFive Views on the Exodus looks at competing views on the historicity, chronology, and theological implications of the exodus. The biblical account of the Israelite exodus from Egypt is one of the most enduring narratives ever told and is a foundational event for several world religions. It resonates across cultures with its timeless themes of redemption and deliverance. It is also the only explanation the Bible gives for Israel’s origin. Despite its unique legacy, many scholars regard the exodus as fictitious or a cultural memory that may not be a historical event. Even among those who believe the exodus happened, there is no consensus regarding its date. Five Views on the Exodus brings together experts in the fields of biblical studies, Egyptology, and archaeology to discuss and debate the most vexing questions about the exodus. Each offers their own view and offer constructive responses to other leading views on the exodus. The five views presented here include: • Early Date: The Exodus Took Place in the Fifteenth Century BC (Scott Stripling) • Late Date: A Historical Exodus in the Thirteenth Century BC (James K. Hoffmeier) • A Hyksos Levite Led Exodus in the Time of Ramesses II (Peter Feinman) • Alternative Late Date: The Exodus Took Place in the Twelfth Century BC (Gary A. Rendsburg) • The Exodus as Cultural Memory: A Transformation of Historical Events (Ronald Hendel) |
