Description
Moses: A Stranger Among Us offers a fresh perspective on the biblical figure, moving beyond familiar portrayals to reveal a complex and thought-provoking Moses. Rabbi Maurice Harris draws on traditional religious interpretations, academic scholarship, and psychological analysis to explore the lesser-known attributes and experiences of this biblical leader. Through his work, Harris provides important tools for understanding issues such as religious fundamentalism, identity confusion, civil disobedience, and gay and lesbian equality, among others. Written in a clear and engaging voice, this book invites readers to engage with the Bible in a new way, exploring its relevance to contemporary ethical and spiritual concerns. By combining respect for the biblical text with a willingness to question received tradition, Harris reveals a Moses whose life story offers valuable insights into the nature of sacred mythic storytelling. This book is an exciting and thought-provoking exploration of the biblical figure, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of faith and spirituality.
