Exalted for centuries as a hero and author of the Bible, Moses is
inseparable from biblical tradition itself. Moses is also an
inherently ambiguous figure and a perennial focus of controversy,
from ancient disputes of priestly rivalry to modern issues of
class, gender and race. In Rewriting Moses, Brian Britt analyses
elements of polemic and ideology in the Moses of the Bible, of
film, novel, visual art and scholarship. He argues that the
biblical Moses lives within writing, while the post-biblical Moses
lives more often in biography. Yet later rewritings of Moses
refract biblical traditions of writing in surprising ways.
Rewriting Moses provides an original account of the Freudian
insight that traditions preserve what they repress. This is volume
14 in the Gender, Cutlure, Theory series and is volume 402 in the
Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Supplements series.
