The Exodus by Richard Elliott Friedman
How It Happened and Why It Matters
A concise, evidence-driven reassessment of the biblical Exodus that combines textual analysis, archaeology, and Egyptian records to argue the famous narrative is rooted in real, but much smaller and more complex, historical movements: Friedman proposes that a modest group of Semitic people left Egypt and later merged with Canaanite populations, and that the biblical story represents a layered, reshaped memory of those events rather than a literal account of a mass national migration.
