DJ has photo of author & biog on inner flap..; Map; 415pg thick pages; Drawing on the biblical text and a treasury of both scholarship and storytelling, Kirsch examines all that is known and all that has been imagined of Moses. In these vivid pages, we see the marvels and mysteries of Moses's life in a new light--his rescue in infancy and adoption by an Egyptian princess; his reluctant assumption of the role of liberator; his struggles to wrest his people from the pharaoh's dominion; his desperate vigil on Mount Sinai. Here too is the darker, more ominous Moses--the sorcerer, the husband of a pagan woman, the military commander who cold-bloodedly ordered the slaying of innocent people; the beloved of God whom God sought twice to murder.

Kirsch writes this like a lawyer's brief and with a lawyer's concern for separating facts from the background. You can almost begin to see the various layers of history piled on top of one another in the Torah, as each writer strove to put their spin on the story. Most fascinating to me was the case Kirsch made for Miriam being more important that Moses, and that Moses may be a wholly fictional character. Read this in conjunction with some of Karen Armstrong's work.
P.S. You'll need an open mind.
