Insights on the Exodus, King David, and Jesus
Insights on the Exodus, King David, and Jesus presents an understanding of the correlation among Christianity, Egyptian theology, Islam and Mormonism with a little different perspective, in many cases, than the traditional viewpoint. Steefen has done extensive research and writes his opinion of what he has gleaned about this trend of religious thinking. Although his ideas might not be in line with your personal beliefs, it is a book that will make you think and possibly change some of those beliefs.
In his Introduction, the author says:
“Ancient Egypt contributes to the historical narrative and the historical accuracy of the Bible and all sacred scripture stemming from Abraham. It contributes to our understanding of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It affects our notions of “God”, “Saviour” and “the Afterlife”—and Ancient Egypt often makes a museum visit satisfying.”
This summarizes his book perfectly.
This book is a great resource for students and scholars who are interested in the history and ideas of the subject matter. It is a book that employs some of the latest discoveries, such as the Rosetta Stone, as well as time-honored sources, such the Bible and the Koran, to support his conclusions.
The venues for this book are museums, college and university classrooms and libraries at those same institutions. The students of Christianity, Egyptian theology, Islam and Mormonism will enjoy reading about the similarities and differences.
The author is a scholar who did much of his research with onsite visits to museums and libraries to see firsthand where his research was leading him. The exhibits he visited gave him many of the insights he reports about in his book.
There is a good bibliography and a short index of his work included.
Steefen was given an honorable mention at the North Texas Book Festival on April 16, 2011.
