Publisher's Description
God at Work offers a deep and accessible guide to the foundational chapters of Israel's deliverance, bringing theological, psychological, and social insight to this transformative biblical narrative. Drawing on years of scholarship and classroom teaching, Anthony B. Bradley explores Exodus through the lenses of Gerard Van Groningen's covenant theology, Abraham Kuyper's public theology, Reinhold Niebuhr's understanding of sin and anxiety, and Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theory of basic anxiety. This study walks readers through God's rescue of his people from Egypt, the formation of covenant identity at Mount Sinai, and the implications of these events for individuals, churches, and society today. With practical reflection questions and clear applications, the book equips readers to confront modern forms of bondage--personal, systemic, and spiritual--while calling them into deeper trust in God's justice and grace. Ideal for small groups, personal study, or classroom settings, God at Work reconnects ancient Scripture to contemporary life, offering a rich theological journey that inspires transformation and obedience.

“Reading God at Work yielded fresh insight into the familiar yet foundational opening chapters of Exodus. Dr. Bradley’s thoughtful scholarship and pastoral sensitivity draw out a wide range of themes and applications that invite deeper reflection. Whether used for personal study or group discussion, God at Work is a rich and reliable companion for anyone seeking to connect the story of Exodus with everyday faith and work.”
“Dr. Bradley intricately weaves together the covenantal, theological, and psychological strands found in the book of Exodus to give us refreshing insight into this ancient text. He highlights the themes of God’s sovereignty, grace, and justice that underscore that the same God who worked in the Exodus is at work today. It is outstandingly accessible for both the scholar and the layperson and will serve as an important resource in the years to come.”
“Dr. Bradley weds a pastor’s heart and a theologian’s depth to bring the rich and practical teaching of Exodus intended for the original audience’s weak and wounded, sick and sore lives, to bear on our own lives, which are just as desperate for redemption and restoration. What Anthony does through this study is recover the importance of whole-life discipleship for the whole of life. Highly recommended!”
