Moses

A new edition of the classic exegesis of the significance of the biblical character of Moses, by one of the key figures in 20th-century Old Testament criticism. In this new edition of Gerhard von Rad's classic work on the Moses traditions, the reader is provided with a more polished text, cross-references to von Rad's other works, an updated bibliography, Scripture index, and a new foreword by Walter Brueggemann. A German Lutheran pastor, University professor and a prolific Old Testament scholar, Gerhard von Rad sought a revival of Old Testament appreciation from a readership diheartened by two world wars. Hanson brings this important work to the present generation in the hopes of provoking the same reaction.
