Book Description
“When they cried for help, God heard them.” Step into the ancient tale of Exodus, where the cries of the oppressed Israelites pierce the heavens, awakening God’s boundless compassion. In Exodus 2:23, we witness the eternal truth that God heard them when they cried for help. Nevertheless, this is not just a story from the past; it is a timeless echo, echoing through the ages, urging us to heed its call. It is a call to break free from the chains of our personal Egypt, to relinquish the attraction of fleeting solutions, and to embrace the divine plan woven into the fabric of our existence. Within these pages lies more than a narrative; it is an invitation— an invitation to spiritual fulfillment, freedom from oppression, and a life illuminated by the grace of God. It is a journey toward freedom, purpose, and a deeper understanding of our place in the promised land.

The Greek Exodus from Egypt
Author: Angelos Dalachanis
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 9781789208351
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
From the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth, Greeks comprised one of the largest and most influential minority groups in Egyptian society, yet barely two thousand remain there today. This painstakingly researched book explains how Egypt’s once-robust Greek population dwindled to virtually nothing, beginning with the abolition of foreigners’ privileges in 1937 and culminating in the nationalist revolution of 1952. It reconstructs the delicate sociopolitical circumstances that Greeks had to navigate during this period, providing a multifaceted account of demographic decline that arose from both large structural factors as well as the decisions of countless individuals.

Out of Egypt
Author: André Aciman
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1429998776
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
This richly colored memoir chronicles the exploits of a flamboyant Jewish family, from its bold arrival in cosmopolitan Alexandria to its defeated exodus three generations later. In elegant and witty prose, André Aciman introduces us to the marvelous eccentrics who shaped his life--Uncle Vili, the strutting daredevil, soldier, salesman, and spy; the two grandmothers, the Princess and the Saint, who gossip in six languages; Aunt Flora, the German refugee who warns that Jews lose everything "at least twice in their lives." And through it all, we come to know a boy who, even as he longs for a wider world, does not want to be led, forever, out of Egypt.

“Did I Not Bring Israel Out of Egypt?”
Author: James K. Hoffmeier
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 1575064308
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The Hebrew Scriptures consider the exodus from Egypt to be Israel’s formative and foundational event. Indeed, the Bible offers no other explanation for Israel’s origin as a people. It is also true that no contemporary record regarding a man named Moses or the Israelites generally, either living in or leaving Egypt has been found. Hence, many biblical scholars and archaeologists take a skeptical attitude, dismissing the exodus from the realm of history. However, the contributors to this volume are convinced that there is an alternative, more positive approach. Using textual and archaeological materials from the ancient Near East in a comparative way, in conjunction with the Torah’s narratives and with other biblical texts, the contributors to this volume (specialists in ancient Egypt, ancient Near Eastern culture and history, and biblical studies) maintain that the reports in the Hebrew Bible should not be cavalierly dismissed for ideological reasons but, rather, should be deemed to contain authentic memories.

Egypt's Occupation
Author: Aaron G. Jakes
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503612627
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 485
Book Description
The history of capitalism in Egypt has long been synonymous with cotton cultivation and dependent development. From this perspective, the British occupation of 1882 merely sealed the country's fate as a vast plantation for European textile mills. All but obscured in such accounts, however, is Egypt's emergence as a colonial laboratory for financial investment and experimentation. Egypt's Occupation tells for the first time the story of that financial expansion and the devastating crises that followed. Aaron Jakes offers a sweeping reinterpretation of both the historical geography of capitalism in Egypt and the role of political-economic thought in the struggles that raged over the occupation. He traces the complex ramifications and the contested legacy of colonial economism, the animating theory of British imperial rule that held Egyptians to be capable of only a recognition of their own bare economic interests. Even as British officials claimed that "economic development" and the multiplication of new financial institutions would be crucial to the political legitimacy of the occupation, Egypt's early nationalists elaborated their own critical accounts of boom and bust. As Jakes shows, these Egyptian thinkers offered a set of sophisticated and troubling meditations on the deeper contradictions of capitalism and the very meaning of freedom in a capitalist world.
