Vision Video has produced another excellent selection in their study of the Old Testament. Guest Joseph Steinberg is the director of "Jews for Jesus" in the United Kingdom. Hosts, Bewes, rector of All Souls Church in London and Blackham, a theologian, cover the forty chapters of Exodus in ten, approximately fifteen minute segments. The accompanying study guide is written by Blackham and includes in each Bible study segment key truths, short discussion of content, additional questions, and daily reading suggestions. Also in the study guide discussion of the tabernacle are interesting diagrams and drawings of the building design and furnishings. The video follows a straightforward discussion format that will not appeal to those interested in entertainment styled Bible study. The discussions are well thought out and follow scripture. Steinberg's insights from a Jewish point of view are interesting and assist the participant in understanding Exodus from the aspect of those who wrote it. It is appropriate for congregational and academic libraries as well as small group Bible study and as a student reference for the study of Exodus. - Reviewed by Sharon Hinton RN, BSN, LP, Librarian, First United Methodist Church, Floydada, TX
