Moses in Biblical and Extra-Biblical Traditions

The papers in this volume revolve around the history of the influence exerted by the person of Moses and the traditions associated with him. They deal not only with the function of the figure of Moses in the Pentateuch, the salvation in the Red Sea and the final day of Moses’ life, but also with the way Moses was received in the Deuteronomic history, the Psalms, the Book of Jeremiah, the Septuagint, in Qumran, early Jewish extra-biblical literature, the New Testament and the Early Church.

"This is a valuable volume that sheds light on the different traditions surrounding the character of Moses. As such, it can be highly recommended for those interested in Moses and/or in the history of the exegesis."
