Exodus

The actual title of the essay was:

How do Old and New Testament writers define the relationship between God and his people in the light of the Exodus?
Does the Exodus event have significance for Christians today?

This was another of the essays that I enjoyed writing. I also really enjoyed the lectures by Wendy at Wesley. I really tried to put my own understanding down and this essay is probably the closest I got to doing that well. This was also the only essay to get moderated down not up, as it was originally marked at 67%. I know I learnt a lot studying the Bible for this essay.

My mark for this essay was 58%.
