PENTECOST 19 - Exodus 12:33-42; John 8:48-58

Exodus is an important book as it sets up the very specific foundations for the faith that will become Ancient Israelite religion, then Judaism after the Exile, the faith background for Jesus, and then the backstory for the Christian religion. In this way, it is quite a significant in the Bible. However, over the past 200 years, it has been discovered that the historicity of everything in the book is lacking archaeological evidence. What do we do with this? Does this mean that the religions that have emerged from the Exodus narrative are based on something false, or is something else going on here? In this sermon, Rev Derwyn explores some of this argument and its implications, arriving at a conclusion that ought to sound familiar to anyone listening to him over the past couple of years . . .
