The episode of the Golden Calf is one of the Bible's most well-known stories, being familiar to virtually every Sunday school child. And because its content is eminently suitable for sermonizing, it is a favorite Old Testament passage among many preachers. But the outcome of treating this event in isolation is that its true signficance is easily missed. In order to understand the episode of the Golden Calf it must be examined within the broader context of Israel's covenant and relationship with God, ancient Near Eastern religious practice, and the interplay of human sinfulness and spirituality. Beginning there, it is then possible to discern the meaning and contribution of this event to the overall biblical storyline as it discloses and prepares for God's work of redemption and recovery in His Son.
