A wide-ranging examination of the Exodus in the time of Ramses, written by a respected scholar and with a historical reconstruction well-grounded in the Egyptian record. Feinman challenges the reader to rethink the event. --Eric Cline, author of 1177 B.C. Crucially grounded in the historiography of the search for the Exodus and Egyptology itself, Feinman provides a critical reassessment of the Exodus narrative from the Egyptological evidence which will be an important resource for anyone interested in the topic. From an array of primary sources, including texts, astronomical dating, and archaeological remains, this work builds a bold potential historical interpretation of the Exodus, paying special attention to the long-assumed connection of the Hyksos to this question. --Danielle Candelora, co-author of Ancient Egyptian Society The Exodus: An Egyptian Story is a fun and challenging read for anyone interested in an historical reconstruction for the Exodus in the time of Ramses based on the ancient Egyptian record and who appreciates an adventurous writer willing to offer thoughtful analysis that offers an alternative to traditional academic studies. --Kara Cooney, author of The Good Kings
