Unit 2 Interactive Assessment Hardening of the Heart

Q The "hardening of Pharaoh's heart" in the Book of Exodus presents a theological challenge to us as readers who want to understand this in relation to an accurate understanding of God. Define exegetically and theologically what the meaning of the hardening of Pharaoh's heart is, and address this challenge. What is God doing here? What is Pharaoh doing? What is the relationship between the two given what you know about God's character (from Scripture of course, which you must cite in support of any claims that you make, along with your other research)?

It is tempting and easy to rely only on our theological presuppositions at the expense of a careful reading of the text. Yield not to temptation. Start with the Bible, then work from there. Do the exegetical work, pay attention to the context, examine the evidence, do research, and then take on the theological questions in as informed a manner as possible.
