Description
Moses, prince of Egypt, liberator of slaves,
and prophet of God's Law, has fascinated
and intrigued Jews and non-Jews for more
than 3,000 years. the images of Moses described
in Daniel Jeremy Silver's captivating book reflect the
changing interests of the Jewish tradition
and the changing attitudes of other
traditions Egyptian, Greek, Christian, Islamic,
scholarly, mystical, modern toward
religious leadership and personal virtue.
To some non-Jews Moses was an atheist
and an ingrate, to others a master magician,
or the conqueror of Jerusalem, or the long
awaited Messiah. Christians praised his
virtue; Muslims his political acumen; but
neither accepted his teaching. - from Amzon
