In this new edition of Gerhard von Rad's classic work on the Moses traditions, the reader is provided with a more polished text, cross-references to von Rad's other works, an updated bibliography, Scripture index, and a new foreword by Walter Brueggemann.
Retrace the life of Moses from his modest birth and rescue as a baby to the courts of Pharaoh, from herding flocks in Midian to leading his people out of Egypt. Join Adam Hamilton as he travels from Egypt to Mt. Sinai, the Nile, the Red Sea and the wilderness exploring the sites of Moses' life. Using historical information, archaeological data, and biblical text, Hamilton guides us in the footsteps of this reluctant prophet who grew in his relationship with God and by the end of life had successfully fulfilled the role he was given. Turn your own reluctance into boldness as you examine the significant challenges facing Moses and how God shaped his character and life in powerful ways. The Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide a group through the six-week study, including session plans and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options.
Moses of Avaris Part IV Son of Jethro covers the life of the prophet Moses from the time he left Egypt until the Passover. Sources for the book include The Bible, Pearl of Great Price (considered scripture by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), Works of Josephus, Book of Jasher and various documents on Egyptian history. Moses struggles with two issues. First: Should he accept the call from God to liberate Israel from Egypt, even though Israel rejected his leadership. Second: Should he raise an army to defeat Egypt or follow the advice of his mentor, Jethro Reuel of Midian, and confront the might of Pharaoh with only God at his back. Moses is presented as more human than traditional stories and includes material found in sources other than the Bible. The book is directed toward adults and mature youth. The author would rate the book as PG-13.
This is a history to remove some basic confusion many have. Rather than only having one Moses character in the Ancient Egyptian history, there were 3 and all were important to the Jewish Exodus and the survival of Egypt. The first, Ka-Moses fought the last great king of the Hyksos, but lost his life. The second one known as Moses "the Jew" finally killed the mighty Hyksos king, Apepi I, at the Red Sea. The last one, Ah-Moses, destroyed the remaining Hyksos rulers and started a new dynasty free of the Hyksos overlords.
Could Moses have been a real person and could that person have been the Crown Prince Tuthmose, son of Amenhotep III and brother to Akhenaten?Two of the ancient world's most enigmatic characters: Moses, who led the Israelites from bondage in Egypt to the Promised Land, yet 'archaeologically' didn't exist, and Akhenaten, the heretical Pharaoh who overturned the religion of Egypt and was deliberately erased from history. Who were these two men and what was the legacy they left behind? To understand Moses and Akhenaten, it is necessary to understand the times they lived in, to establish how Moses came to be raised in a royal household, where he went when he left Egypt, what happened when he returned, how the circumstances of the Exodus occurred, and in which Pharaoh's reign did it take place. It is time to take a fresh look at whatever inscriptional evidence there is and re-evaluate the various texts that have survived. But before we do that, we need to understand why what we read in textbooks and encyclopedias today, is not really 'cast in stone'. This book is for the people who don't know Ancient Egypt, or who only have recollections from history lessons at school mixed with Hollywood's take on the whole thing, rather than for academics. It is written to be understood and enjoyed by everybody.
