Un Éxodo entre muchos otros Éxodos [An Exodus among many other Exodus]"El artículo se propone leer el conjunto formado por Exodo 1-15 bajo el prisma de la valoración de la cotidianidad como el lugar de la experiencia humana. Esto permite proponer como eje el carácter provisional, fragmentario y transitorio inherente al aspecto relacional de la corporalidad en el mundo. En este sentido, la experiencia inacabada, llena de sorpresas, reflejada en una estética de pasaje y de des-instalación que es el éxodo, en la vida de quien lo enfrenta, rompe con el tratamiento del éxodo como una experiencia acabada." "The article is intended to read the complex formed by Exodus 1-15 under the prism of daily life valuation as a place of human experience. That allows us to propose the provisory, fragmentary and transitory feature as an axis, inherent to the relational aspect of corporality in the world. In this sense, the unfinished experience, full of surprises, reflected in a passage and dis-installation statics, which is exodus, in the life of those who face it, breaks with the treatment of Exodus as an accomplished experience"

An other-typological illustration of the Exodus story according to Dr King’s perception of universal reconciliation in his sermon on Exodus 14:30The article contends that Dr King makes an <em>other</em>-typological illustrative use of the Exodus story in his preaching – one of the most significant biblical narratives that the Black church in the US holds dear. This peculiar use of the Exodus story differentiates itself from the conventional typological understanding and use of the same story in the Black church’s history. While in the latter the Exodus story has a symbolic meaning of the irreconcilable conflict between the oppressed and the oppressing reality, in the former the same story contains a spiritual lesson that what is really hoped for in the midst of the seemingly irreconcilable racial and social conflict is compassion, liberation, and reconciliation for both parties involved. This article, by examining a representative sermon of Dr King on the Exodus story, shows that his <em>other</em>-typological illustrative approach originates from his fundamental theological ideal of universal reconciliation.

The Exodus and the spade: The impact of archaeology on the interpretation of the book of ExodusThe interpretation of the book of Exodus is used as an example of the different ways in which archaeological discoveries influenced the course of biblical exegesis. Special emphasis will be placed on matters such as the Amarna letters and the Habiru, Merneptah Stele and the date of the Exodus and the Egyptian background of the Exodus. In conclusion it will be argued that critical dialogue and mutual respect must exist between archaeology and biblical studies. The theological interpretation of biblical texts is inevitably an interdisciplinary endeavor and archaeology is an academic discipline that must be part of the critical dialogue with biblical exegesis.
