Lawgiver and liberator. Seer and prophet. The only human permitted to converse with God 'face-to-face.' Moses is the most commanding presence in the Old Testament. Yet as Jonathan Kirsch shows in this volume, Moses was also 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. Now, in "Moses: A Life," Kirsch accomplishes the wondrous feat of revealing the real Moses, a strikingly modern figure who steps out from begind the facade of Sunday School lessons and movie matinees.
