“I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as your own possession — I, the LORD! Moses said to the people, “Remember this day on which you came out of Egypt, out of a house of slavery. For it was with a strong hand that the Lord brought you out from there.”

The Agora Foundation's online series on the books of the Old Testament / Torah will continue in the fall with The Book of Exodus. The overall initiative is expected to last three to four years, with attendees choosing which book offerings to participate in.

​

The Book of Exodus (from Ancient Greek: Ἔξοδος, romanized: Éxodos; Hebrew: שְׁמוֹת Šəmōṯ, 'Names') is the second book of the Bible. The text tells the story of the Israelites leaving the slavery of Egypt, led by Moses to Mount Sinai, where the 10 commandments are given. Covenants are made between God and the people, promising a holy nation and offering specific laws and instructions which suggest that God will dwell with them and lead them to possess the promised land to the descendants of Abraham. We invite you to join us as we explore this iinfinitely rich text, discussing just a few pages at a time. One need not have attended The Book of Genesis Online Intensive to fruitfully participate in this course. Exodus, and all of the books in the series, will be explored through the lenses of theology, philosophy, history, psychology, and literature. 

Online seminars in this series will take place on Wednesday evenings, 5:30-7:00PM Pacific Time. Attendees are encouraged to read their preferred translation of The Book of Exodus. Sessions will be facilitated by Elizabeth Reyes and Dennis Gura. Groups will be limited to 14 participants and no prior knowledge is required. Teachers will be offered 2 CEU credits for participating. This eleven-week series is $750. Community of Lifelong Learners subscribers receive a discount of $50 through a refund. Payment options are available.
