Welcome to Grafted: Jewish Roots of Christianity!
Host Stephanie Pavlantos interviews author and teacher Dr. Dinah Dye about her book, The Greatest Exodus: A Divine Warrior Tradition, which she describes as a culmination of 45 years of studying Scripture. Dye explains how the Exodus and Passover story functions as a thread running through the entire Bible, reframing themes like creation, order and chaos, kingship, temple patterns, and God’s return of presence to His people. She discusses “combat myth” in the ancient Near East and how biblical writers used familiar cultural symbols without endorsing paganism, urging readers to move beyond proof-texting and theological “boxes” to see Scripture as a unified narrative. Dye outlines the book’s structure, showing the divine warrior/chaos pattern from Exodus through the Gospels (especially Matthew) and into Revelation, and hopes the book helps Christians understand biblical context amid current confusion about Israel and antisemitism.
