Exodus - An Interpretive Paraphrase with Notes
Exodus is one of the most important and significant books in the Bible; without it we would never understand the other portions of the Divine Library. Honeycutt says that Exodus is to the Old Testament what the Gospels are to the New Testament. In the Old Testament there is no greater spectacle in history than the Exodus, no greater revelation of God than at the burning bush and at Sanai, no greater display of the power of God than the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea, no greater record of how to live than the Ten Commandments, no more significant instruction in worship than the Tabernacle, no greater human figure than Moses, and no greater epoch in sacred history than the establishing of Israel as a nation.
Throughout the Old Testament, the Exodus event was THE great event of later writers. The deliverance of God’s people in a recurring theme of the Prophets. The Psalmists repeatedly referred to the Exodus as a major theme of worship Christ used the language of Exodus to describe His work in words such as “redeem,” “redemption,” “deliver,” “ransom,” “purchase,” “bondage”, and “freedom.” Paul refers to the Exodus at least forty times.

John Bob Riddle, DDS
Dr. John Bob Riddle (1924 – 2012) was a beloved expositor, Bible scholar, pastor and teacher for over sixty years. Often called the Prince of Preachers by his admirers, Dr. Riddle was a friend and contemporary of such men as W. A. Criswell, R. G. Lee, Vance Havner and J. Vernon McGee, appearing often with these giants in Bible conferences and other speaking venues. As both a scholar and pastor Dr. Riddle’s dream was to translate the entire New Testament from the most reliable and authentic original Greek sources into conversational English without losing any of the impact of the original language. Prior to his death in 2012 he had completed 20 such “Study Guides,” several with his son, Dr. Bob Riddle, President of Pastorsworkshop. Several of the “Study Guides” offered through Pastorsworkshop have the original teaching notes in the margins. These have been preserved for the readers’ benefit.
Though a beloved pastor/teacher, Dr. Riddle’s passion was teaching the deep truths of Scripture to other pastors, many of whom lacked the opportunity for higher education or the ability to study Scripture in the original languages. That legacy is now continued through the distribution of his life’s work through the Pastorsworkshop and its global outreach.
