The Life Of Moses

The book of Exodus records substantial portions of the life of Moses, who is perhaps the best known figure of the Old Testament. However, many people fail to realize that the account of Moses’ early life and his leadership of Israel out of Egypt in many ways parallel the hero legends of the ancient Near East. In this book, Brian Peterson not only offers a new translation of most of Exodus; he also gives commentary on the text germane to its historical milieu. In a concise and straightforward handling of the text, Peterson brings to life Moses, the hero of the Old Testament period.
