"This exhaustive and important study of the meaning of Moses in the                  Bible demonstrates conclusively 'the Mosaicization of the canon'... Nohrnberg                  possesses a remarkable typological imagination. No summary can do justice to the                  sheer brilliance of the congruities and disparities he discovers on every                  page." -- Journal of Religion"LIKE UNTO MOSES proposes                  a series of challenging perspectives on theprocess of canon-formation in the Bible.                  James Nohrnberg's ability totrace connections among different elements of the                  biblical corpus isunflaggingly resourceful, sometimes provocative, and often                  deeplyinstructive." -- Robert Alter"... an insightful                  study of the traditions of Moses in the Bible." --                  Choice"This is a formidably argued, large book.... It is                  also certainly the most sophisticated book on Moses and one of the most                  sophisticated readings of the Bible which I have ever had the pleasure of                  reading.... I think it is a brilliant achievement and would recommend it to every                  reader of the Bible." -- R. P. Carroll, The Society for Old Testament Study                  Book ListThe 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.
