In 1997, creator Joss Whedon revisited a screenplay that had previously been adapted into a relatively forgotten horror-comedy film: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dissatisfied with how the film turned out, Whedon developed his own version of the story as an allegory for the "horrors" of growing up. For seven years, Buffy and her friends (the Scoobies) battled demons, both of the metaphorical and literal kind and, along the way, took part in a series that defines the term "cult classic."

The Kingdom of Jesus came with power. It spread from Jerusalem, throughout Judea, to Samaria, and even reached the hearts of Gentile believers.

Exodus is not about freedom. It is about bondage. The book’s two halves are distinct in structure, but not in theme. The first half is narrative-driven, focusing on Israel’s bondage to Pharaoh and God’s work to break the chains that held them to Egypt.

And yet, the two halves fit together once you realize that Exodus is not about freedom, but about bondage. Israel was in bondage to Egypt, but God wanted them for Himself. So, He broke Pharoah, redeemed Israel, and brought ...
