A groundbreaking account of how the Book of Exodus shaped
fundamental aspects of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam The Book of
Exodus may be the most consequential story ever told. But its
spectacular moments of heaven-sent plagues and parting seas
overshadow its true significance, says Jan Assmann, a leading
historian of ancient religion. The story of Moses guiding the
enslaved children of Israel out of captivity to become God's chosen
people is the foundation of an entirely new idea of religion, one
that lives on today in many of the world's faiths. First introduced
in Exodus, new ideas of faith, revelation, and above all covenant
transformed basic assumptions about humankind's relationship to the
divine and became the bedrock of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
