The point of the exodus was not simply to redeem people from oppression, but to redeem them to something: from slavery to worship. That's true in an even higher manner in the redemptive work of Christ in the New Testament: we are not saved simply because we need to be saved, but so that we might worship Him. That's the point of your salvation-to worship the Lord your God.
The Burning Bush is more than a miracle but a revelation of worship. In worship and just as Moses experienced, we begin to know God and in knowing God we know ourselves and our need for salvation; our need for worship. We are created to worship however, we worship creation instead of the creator.
Sproul always digs to the root of the bible text. The question is not about God's existence but a moral condition. Pharaoh and each of us must face that question. We can deny truth, we can deny authority however, in that denial, we deny worship. God is not like us in that worship is some egotistical trip but worshipping God is for the Glory of God and for our good. Bringing the people out of Egypt was bringing them out of sin to a place of worship.
How do you feel about your place of worship? Is a place of entertainment? A place to catch up with friends? Or is a place that your heart is stilled and your focus is on the Creator. In knowing Him and being in a place of reverence.
Before we can be in that place of reverence, we must understand the difference between ourselves and God. The authority of God and the salvation of God. Moses thru his experience with the burning bush and the promises of God did and we can as well. I highly recommend.

First sentence: THE BURNING BUSH HAS BEEN a significant symbol throughout the history of the church, and for good reason. In the account of Moses and the burning bush, we see God’s self-revelation. God appeared to Moses and provided an all-important disclosure: His everlasting, covenant name, Yahweh. The burning bush, as a symbol, signifies an encounter with the transcendent God and His divine revelation.
Originally a teaching series with ten lectures, Moses and the Burning Bush has now been adapted into a book. The chapters/messages are: "The Invisible Hand of God," "The Burning Bush," "A Consuming Fire," "The Angel of the Lord," "Holy Ground," "I AM: The Name of God," "I AM: The Being of God," "I AM: The Aseity of God," "A Divine Mission," and "A Shadow of Christ."
The premise of this one is simple. Sproul writes in the introduction, "One of the church’s biggest problems is that we don’t understand who God is." Later he writes, "In the very early days of Ligonier Ministries, somebody asked me, “What are you trying to do? What’s your mission? What’s the purpose of this ministry that you’ve put together?” I told him, “It’s a teaching ministry to help ground Christians in the Word of God,” and he responded, “What is it that you want to teach, that the people don’t already know?” That was easy. “Who God is,” I said." He follows that up with this sad but true statement, "I think the greatest weakness in our day is the virtual eclipse of the character of God, even within our churches."
In one way, every book Sproul writes shares a common theme, a common premise--to explore, to explain, to examine WHO GOD IS. God is a God who has revealed himself in the written word. He is a God who wants to be known.
In this short book, readers get an in-depth expository message on Moses and the Burning Bush found in Exodus 3. In particular, he focuses on the verse Exodus 3:14.
Sproul writes, "That moment in biblical history when Moses encountered the presence of God in the burning bush is a watershed episode, not only for the life of Moses, or even for the history of Israel, but for the history of the entire world. This book will consider the significance of that event, looking at Moses’ life leading up to that encounter and focusing on the knowledge of God that is revealed in that particular incident."
I enjoyed reading this one. I do think it shows that it was originally a sermon series. Sometimes it got a bit repetitive which makes complete sense in an audio sermon given to an audience with wandering attention spans. Plus, time goes by from week to week--so it's good in a sermon series to remind your congregation of where you are and where you've been. I read it in one sitting. If I'd read it over a couple of days, I probably would not have noticed the repetitiveness.

Why does someone worship God? Why give to Him reverence and adoration that is different from any esteem that might be given to anything in the created world? It’s easy to love God, be grateful to Him, and worship Him because of the wonderful things He’s done in history, and in our own personal histories—but a Christian’s reverence for God doesn’t rise to true worship until that Christian worships God not for what He has done but for who He is in His transcendent majesty.

This short book by the late Dr. R.C. Sproul is based on one of his last teaching series of the same title. He writes that the burning bush has been a significant symbol throughout the history of the church, and for good reason. The account of the burning bush is a story about the holiness of God. He tells us that God Himself appeared, through the manifestation of His presence in the bush and that what Moses experienced at the burning bush is what God’s people experience today: a holy, transcendent, all-consuming God who comes down to dwell with His people. He knows us.
This book considers the significance of the burning bush event, looking at Moses’ life leading up to that encounter and focusing on the knowledge of God that is revealed in that particular incident. In this book Dr. Sproul looks to answer the question of why the bush was burning and yet not being consumed.
Moses was the mediator of the old covenant. That office made Moses one of the most important people in the entire Old Testament. As a mediator, he stood between God and the people of Israel. Moses foreshadowed the greater Mediator who would come later—the Mediator of the new covenant, Christ Himself.
The author tells us that there are occasions in redemptive history where the invisible God makes Himself visible by some kind of manifestation. That is called a theophany, and it’s what we see with the burning bush. What Moses saw in this fire was a supernatural, visible manifestation of the glory of God. He had a momentary encounter with the Holy, and the closer he got, the more afraid he became.
The author tells us that he believes that the greatest weakness in our day is the virtual eclipse of the character of God, even within our churches.
The first thing that God reveals about Himself in that name is that He is personal.
The author addresses such topics as God’s self-existence, His transcendence and His aseity. Self-existence means that He depends on nothing and no one for His existence. Only God has the concept of self-existence. The author tells us that if God is self-existent, eternal, and pure, then He is, by definition, transcendent. When we consider the transcendence and aseity of our God, we will respond in worship and awe—just as Moses did at the burning bush.
The author tells us that the second most important act of redemption ever accomplished in history, and the second most difficult mission ever given by God to a human being, was the mission God gave to Moses.
The author tells us that in the burning bush we see the revelation of the person of God, of the power of God, and of the eternality of God. We see the revelation of the compassion of God, the redemption of God, and now, finally, the truth of God.
The author was known for his teaching on the holiness of God. This book is another wonderful look at that attribute of God.

I recently read The Prayer of the Lord by the late R.C. Sproul (13.02.39-14.12.17) and was keen to read more of his books.
Moses and the Burning Bush is an informative and challenging exposition in which Sproul explains that "the account of the burning bush is a story about the holiness of God". A book that teaches more of who God is, and enncourages assurance in His power.

It's a short book but worth reading! Precious Truths!
"The point of the exodus was not simply to redeem people from oppression, but to redeem them to something: from slavery to worship. That's true in an even higher manner in the redemption work of Christ in the New Testament: we are not saved simply because we need to be saved, but so that we might worship Him. That's the point of your salvation - to worship the Lord your God."

Insightful chapters focusing on the holiness and the name and character of God revealed to Moses through the burning bush. All of these things point to the incarnate Word of God, Jesus Christ, who rescued His people, not just to give us life but to bring us freedom, so that we might worship Him.

Fantastic little book. RC reminds the Christian that just like the Israelites were saved out of slavery and for worship, we as well, as the Israel of God are to do the same. WCF 1. Recommend!

I like this approach of taking one biblical event and examining it from many angles. This short book delves into what the story of the burning bush tells us about the nature of God. It starts slowly but develops into something very profound.

This is a book that will captivate you. I must admit it took me awhile to get through the first chapters. But afterwards, it amazed me and I felt like I didn`t want this book to end.
Moses has such an extraordinary encounter with God. There is so much mystery in the burning bush. R. C. Sproul takes you within this book (10 chpaters) from the burning bush and the holy ground to the name of God "I AM". He gives precious insights for this case (symbols, God`s character traits, names of God and so on).
One beautiful interpretation you will find in the book is the resemblance between Moses and Christ (last chapter particularly).
This is a book I would choose to re-read everytime I get in the story of Moses.

This is the first new volume I have read of Dr. Sproul's since his passing, and it was a perfect reminder of why his work has had such a great effect on my thought and life. Sproul is clear and concise, and his exposition of Scripture is thoroughly engaging. The pastoral aspect of these collected lessons is clear throughout.
This is a great volume for people who are new to Sproul. I am thankful that Dr. Sproul's work will live on well beyond him.

WHAT'S MOSES AND THE BURNING BUSH ABOUT?
Sproul examines—briefly—just what God says about himself when he revealed himself to Moses. He shows His holiness, His glory, His Aesity, and more—here is even, as Sproul puts it, "A Shadow of Christ."
In ten short chapters, Sproul opens up the account of Moses's encounter with the Lord in the bush that was on fire, but was not consumed.* He doesn't just camp out in Exodus 3, but spends time in Isaiah, Genesis, and other places, although he brings it all back to this point.
* I've learned to appreciate Scott Oliphant's point that calling it a "burning bush" misses the point, it's only supernatural to call it an "unburning bush."
SO, WHAT DID I THINK ABOUT MOSES AND THE BURNING BUSH?
It has been ages—or at least it feels like it has been—since I've read an R. C. Sproul book (at least for the first time). There's a clarity to the prose that's almost untouchable by anyone else. He can express deep thoughts in a way that anyone can understand—not that there were a lot of tricky concepts this time out, but that voice is still there. And I'm going to miss it.
This is a nice book, as a sketch of these ideas. I think Sproul was capable of more, he could've got into all of these areas with more detail, could have fleshed out the concepts more—and given the reader something to chew on. I'm sure he had his reasons for not, I just wish he'd done more.
Still, if all you've thought of is the event itself—not what it meant beyond God calling Moses, it's probably a good way to introduce yourself to it, but beyond that, there's probably limited value.

WHAT'S MOSES AND THE BURNING BUSH ABOUT?
One of the church’s biggest problems is that we don’t understand who God is. But in that one revelation—the theophany in which God appeared to Moses—the transcendent majesty of God was partially unveiled. What had been invisible became visible through the theophany.

I can't help but say that this is a big, little book!
Sproul writes, "the people of God should have their hearts filled with reverence and adoration" (pg. 95). And that is what this book helped do for me; stoke the fires of my mind, my faith and my heart in the deep reality of its good theology.
What good theology? The biggest one was for me was Sproul's explanation of the theophany (God made manifest) at the burning bush (pg. 30). He corrects any misunderstanding that the bush was the fuel for the fire. Instead, the fire was burning independently from its own power! "The fire was in the bush, but not of the bush" (pg. 30). And what's so invigorating to me about that? Its' simply that in the same way that Yahweh doesn't have to use up the bush as fuel for fire, neither does He use us up and burn us up as fuel for His service. He Himself is the fuel. He Himself is the fire, and we like the bush, may burn for Him and not be consumed!
Sproul makes big theology touch down on the ground of application for our lives. This book left me in awe in many, many ways and sent me away worshipping.

Moses and the Burning Bush, by R. C. Sproul, is a rich and eloquent account of Moses’ encounter with God in the burning bush. In Dr. Sproul’s usual inimitable style, he lays open the rich meaning of this mysterious event by disclosing the personality, character and transcendence of God Himself. As Sproul writes, “...the theophany in which God appeared to Moses—the transcendent majesty of God was partially unveiled.” In His interaction with Moses, God reveals not only His majesty but His mercy. The great I AM establishes a covenant with Moses that will lead to the redemption of sinful man.
Sproul’s joy in his subject matter is evident throughout this simple, easy to read book. A reworking of an older Bible study series by Dr. Sproul, Moses and the Burning Bush is a must have for anyone who wishes to be reminded of who God is and why we worship him.

All I can say is WOW. What an amazing book! Because we have an amazing and awesome God!
Dr. Sproul really knows the beauty and power of God and spells it out clearly in this book. Although it's mainly about Moses and his encounter with God in the burning bush, Dr. Sproul also covers other theophanies of God's Shekinah glory. He writes about God's immanence (nearness to us) and transcendence (that He's above and beyond our scope) and that He alone is holy.
Rather than go through the book for you, as others have done already, I'm just going to say get it and read it and be ready and open to adding a totally new dimension of your perception of God and consequently your walk with Him.

This little book by the great theologian who specialised in philosophy is incredibly helpful in dealing with one of the most profoundly philosophical passages of the Bible. Asking many questions without seeking to delve too deeply into their answers, the important thing is they are the right answers to the right questions - thus serving as a useful aid and entry point to any study of Moses and the Burning Bush.

Good little read on Moses and his encounter with the burning bush. It’s a very quick read. Small pages and big fonts help pad this book to 101 pages but this could easily be read in a sitting. It’s not Sprouls best work. Indeed, it feels like he could have wrote this in his sleep. But there are some great nuggets along the way and , honestly, it’s not like Sproul can write a bad book.

Moses at the burning bush. Revealing the self-existent, transcendent and immanent God, who delivers his people in an Exodus greater than that of Moses. This, obviously Sproul's last book, is simple, clear, and yet profound. A nice read for a Sunday afternoon.
March 21, 2019
As with all of Sproul’s books, Moses and the Burning Bush is rich with theology. It focuses on Sproul’s favorite topic, the holiness of God, as seen in the bush that was burning but not consumed. I found this book very insightful.
March 25, 2019
A wonderful little book written by the late Dr. Sproul. It’s a look at the theophany and christophany that took place in the burning bush and what it meant in regards to future events in redemption history.

Excellent little book! Great study of the ministry of Moses and the burning bush encounter.
March 6, 2021
This little book packs quite a punch! Yes, it explores early Moses moments, the Burning Bush, etc. but it does so with a very fine touch - while still packing that punch! There is a depth of theology found in this little book which will most likely surprise you, it certainly surprised me. The book was given to me by Ligonier ministries, along with their DVD lecture series (also by Sproul) of this very same topic. Both the book and the lectures are top-notch!

Another great book by R.C. Sproul. Talks about the importance of the Burning Bush. How the God of all Creation revealed himself to Moses.
December 31, 2021
this was a great read! i love the insights.... observation from scripture and pulling history for a very clear picture :) helped me prep for Exodus bible study in the Fall
January 1, 2022
This tiny book is loaded with fascinating and challenging theology. It may be a quick read but I wouldn’t call it easy. Highly recommend, especially if you’re studying Exodus.

Burning bush showed the holiness of God. Moses mediator of old covenant and Jesus mediator of new covenant

Vintage Sproul. How could you not love it? Classic themes - holiness of God, being of God, transcendence of God; engages with 20th c. philosophy. Lite on the exegesis, but it's Sproul!

Vintage Sproul. His writing comes alive as he exegetes Exodus 3. The little chapter on divine aseity is devotional.
