<DIV><P>To whom does primary allegiance belong? To great human empires, or to the God whose elusive presence we can never fully grasp?</P><P>Waldemar Janzen offers a fresh approach to the book of Exodus. The liberation from Egypt is a prelude to Israel&rsquo;s unique calling to model before the nations a new life of service under God. Exodus portrays how God, through his servant Moses, wages a dramatic battle with Egypt&rsquo;s mighty ruler for the release of enslaved Israel. The watching Israel wavers: &ldquo;Is the Lord among us or not?&rdquo; Even after Israel covenants to be God&rsquo;s priestly kingdom and holy nation, Israel worships a golden calf. Once more God&rsquo;s grace wrests Israel away, this time from slavery to doubts, fears, and self-centeredness. The people then focus faith on the imageless presence of God in their midst. God still wrestles for his people today.</P></DIV>
