Description
About the Book
This book explores the many framings of Moses in modern Germany, from historic lawgiver to founder of a nation. It traces constructions and contestations of Mosaic law across debates in history and theology, in society and politics.Book Synopsis
A historic lawgiver and founder of an ancient nation, Moses was powerful and pivotal in the imagination of modern Germany. The late eighteenth to early twentieth century was an intense period of religious controversy, especially on 'the Jewish question', with new models for understanding faith, science, and the past. This volume focuses on the identification of Jewish law, both Pentateuch and Talmud, with the figure of Moses to trace the fascinations and anxieties of the Bible in modern culture. Through diverse perspectives, it examines the representations and appropriations of Moses as a father of Judaism and framer of European civilization.Dimensions (Overall): 9.4 Inches (H) x 6.2 Inches (W) x .8 Inches (D)
