Description
Lawgiver and liberator. Seer and prophet. Moses is one of the most commanding figures in the Old Testament. Yet, as revealed by Jonathan Kirsch in this brilliant volume, Moses was also an enigmatic and mysterious figure - at once a good shepherd and a ruthless warrior, a spiritual leader and a magician. Kirsch examines all that is known and all that has been imagined of Moses, drawing on the biblical text and a treasury of both scholarship and storytelling. This vivid account brings new light to the marvels and mysteries of Moses's life, from his rescue in infancy and adoption by an Egyptian princess to his struggles to lead his people from slavery and his desperate vigil on Mount Sinai. A figure of mystery, passion, and contradiction, Moses emerges from this book as a complex and compelling hero for our time.
