[This from Lucy Wagner]
The topic for this week in the Countering Pharaoh series deals with leaving the culture of Pharaoh. Recommended reading in preparation for the video and discussion:
Exodus 1 - 19 (or at least some general familiarity with the Exodus story)
In particular:
Exodus 2:23
Exodus 3:7-10
Exodus 19:8
If you want another good text to supplement this series, I would like to recommend The Word That Redescribes the World: The Bible and Discipleship by Walter Brueggemann. Here is the description from the back cover:
"The church as counter-culture - One of the leading Old Testament theologians of our day confronts the disciplines of consumption and aggression that shape and constrict our imaginations with the startling version of human life opened up by the Jewish and Christian Scriptures."
