Description
The only human permitted to converse with God "fact-to-face," Moses is the most commanding presence in the Old Testament. In this brilliant, stunningly original volume, Jonathan Kirsch also shows Moses as an enigmatic and mysterious figure - at once a good shepherd and a ruthless warrior, a spiritual leader and a magician, a lawgiver who broke his own laws, God's chosen friend and hounded victim. Moses: A Life accomplishes the wondrous feat of revealing the real Moses, a strikingly modern figure who steps out from behind the facade of Sunday school lessons and movie matinees. Drawing on the biblical text and a treasury of both scholarship and storytelling, Kirsch triumphs in examining all that is known and all that has been imagined of Moses.
