On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Kyle and Juan discuss the many possible readings of the biblical plagues before introducing Justin Jackson.

Exodus is central to the Old Testament and the Gospels. It tells the story of God reclaiming His people. This literary study of the Book of Exodus examines man’s relationship to God, God’s mercy toward man, and the nature of human freedom.

God separates the Israelites from the plagues to show that He can spare His people. The Egyptians begin to see God’s power and have the chance to obey God’s commands and be spared as well.
