Summary:
"A portrait of
Moses
's inner world and perplexing character by a distinguished biblical scholar. No figure looms larger in Jewish culture than
Moses
, and few have stories more enigmatic. Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg, acclaimed for her many books on Jewish thought, turns her attention to
Moses
in this remarkably rich, evocative book. Drawing on a broad range of sources - literary as well as psychoanalytic, a wealth of classical Jewish texts alongside George Eliot, W. G. Sebald, and Werner Herzog - Zornberg offers a vivid and original portrait of the biblical
Moses
.
Moses
's vexing personality, his uncertain origins, and his turbulent relations with his own people are acutely explored by Zornberg, who sees this story, told and retold, as crucial not only to the biblical past but also to the future of Jewish history. Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg lectures on the Hebrew Bible and rabbinic thought at academic, psychoanalytic, and Jewish educational institutions around the world. She is the author of Genesis: The Beginning of Desire."--Provided by publisher.
