Description
The poignant narrative of Exodus, which involves leaving one's homeland, traveling, settling, unsettling, wrestling with identity, seeking a home, and pursuing aspirations, resonates with the present circumstances of the Chinese diaspora. This commentary delves into the concept of exodus, tracing its roots from the biblical exodus to its modern manifestation in the Chinese diaspora - "the new exodus." This approach forefronts the nuances of otherness, minority status, liminality, and hybridity in a dominant culture while simultaneously accentuating the transnational, global, and multifaceted roots of such an existence. This diasporic reading of Exodus seeks to facilitate transformation in the ongoing quest for identity, meaning, and purpose, all within the framework of God's redemptive history and diasporans' journey of becoming.
The Asia Bible Commentary Series empowers Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the body of Christ in Asia by providing a pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.
