Like Unto Moses: The Constituting of an Interruption
James Nohrnberg
The Moses of the Bible is a veiled figure who exists both inside and outside the text which describes and defines him. "Moses" is a creation of Israelite literary and scriptural tradition, an ideological construct, a reinvented memory, a projection of what Israel wished to see in Moses. Nohrnberg examines the texts of "Moses" for their representation of the tradition’s self-doubt and its revisionary, "deuteronomic" content.
