The thirteenth chapter of Dr. Waltke&#8217;s An Old Testament Theology is entitled &#8220;The Gifts of Election and God&#8217;s Name.&#8221; This chapter focuses on Exodus 1.1-6.27, which Waltke, following Paul Wright, labels as &#8220;Introduction to Israel&#8217;s Redemption.&#8221; Waltke notes that the beginning of Exodus ties itself to Genesis and that the &#8220;primary theme of Genesis, the [...]]]></description>
