The Exodus Story: Passover

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Kyle and Juan discuss the strange questions raised by sections of the Passover narrative before introducing Justin Jackson. Exodus is central to the Old Testament and the Gospels. It tells the story of God reclaiming His people. This literary study of the Book of Exodus examines man’s relationship to God, God’s mercy toward man, and the nature of human freedom. After many warnings and attempts to convince Pharaoh to obey God, the final plague is the death of the firstborn throughout Egypt. The Israelites are spared, and Pharaoh, who is himself a firstborn son, is spared. Pharaoh finally agrees to let the Israelites go. -------------------------------------- Hillsdale College was founded in 1844 with a mission to provide “all who wish to learn” the education necessary to preserve the civil and religious liberties of America.
