The political and social changes that occurred with the
transformation of the Roman Empire into a Roman Christian Empire
and with the bishops' new social position as imperial bishops
called for new literary representations of the ideal Christian
leader. In this struggle, the figure of Moses turned up as a
suitable figure intimately connected with questions of authority
and power and, related to this, with the risk of dissension and
discord. While the portrait of Moses as a political figure was
hardly applicable in Christian discourses of the 2nd and 3rd
centuries, it became the centre of interest during the 4th century.
This new emphasis was, however, no more new than that it actually
revived traditions of 1st-century Jewish biographical and
autobiographical narratives.
