You can read my full review at SpoiledMilks (4/27/18).
Bryan Estelle provides a book on intertextuality on how the whole Bible develops a major theme: the exodus. Estelle *traces* this biblical motif throughout the Bible (remember that when you read this). He doesn't spend much time exegeting passages or drawing out how each line looks back on an exodus event. Rather, he looks at a passage and states how it broadly uses or reinterprets an idea from the exodus.
After a technical (but important) chapter on intertextuality, allusions, and echoes, Estelle moves on to the exodus motif. The exodus was when Yahweh delivered his people from the grip of Egypt. He brings his people to the cosmic mountain, the mountain of his presence, Mt. Sinai, gives Israel his instructions and has them build a tabernacle where he will dwell among them- just as he dwelt among Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.
Estelle then takes his readers through the Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Ezra and Nehemiah, Mark and Matthew, Luke and Acts, Paul, 1 Peter, and Revelation. Estelle wants his readers to feel confident when they read their Bibles to be able to 'hear' the Bible's own allusions to different events, specifically the exodus, even if they don't know the biblical languages themselves.
Recommended?
I am unsure as to whom I should recommend this book. If you have Carson and Beale's Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament, if you've read Beale's Revelation commentary, anything by Richard Hays, or Rikk Watts, then some (or all) of this won't be new. But if you're brand new to this, then pick up this book and see one of the Bible's greatest themes and how it runs from the beginning of the Bible through our salvation and up to the new creation.
