Exodus—Saved for God's Glory is unavailable, but you can change that!

In this Preaching the Word volume, Philip Graham Ryken mines the majestic book of Exodus for knowledge of God’s character and instruction for his followers. So much can be learned about God through the accounts of his deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, his many divine interventions for them, and his transformation of them into an independent nation.

beauty is one of God’s essential attributes. As Jonathan Edwards said, God’s being and beauty are “the sum and comprehension of all existence and excellence.”4 There is beauty in his triune being as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. What is more beautiful than the intercourse of divine love within the Trinity, the way that each person brings glory to the others? There is beauty in the symmetry of God’s divine perfections: His justice is tempered with mercy; his majesty is counterpoised with humility.
