Israel in Egypt: The Evidence for the Authenticity of the Exodus Tradition, James Hoffmeier's 1997 study from Oxford University Press, argues for the historical plausibility of the Exodus tradition using Egyptological and archaeological evidence. Its strength is that it is a full length scholarly study from a major university press by a specialist in Egyptology. Its limit is that Hoffmeier argues one side of a live scholarly disagreement over the Exodus's historicity, so the substantial body of scholarship skeptical of a historical Exodus should also be checked to see the debate fairly.
