Review Quotes
"The God Who Makes Himself Known is a thought-provoking book. . . . Careful reading of this volume demands frequent pauses for reflection on the inner-canonical connections that Dr Blackburn unpacks with stimulating verve. I am quite certain that most who work their way through this volume will never be able to read Exodus in the same way they did before doing so-and that is high praise."
"Blackburn deserves our thanks for skillfully steering us through the whole of Exodus, enabling us to see not only the trees but also the forest itself. Not only does the text of Exodus come alive in a new way, but the God of whom it speaks becomes more clearly known. To this end, Blackburn truly guides his readers to the missionary heart of Exodus."
"Blackburn's book is a stimulating study that will provide those who plan to preach or teach through the book of Exodus with much useful material."
"I recommend this book to anyone with a desire to better understand the book of Exodus, especially the missionary theme of Exodus."
