Recasting Moses: The Memory of Moses in Biographical and Autobiographical Narratives in Ancient Judaism and 4th-Century Christianity

By Finn Damgaard

In this struggle, the figure of Moses seemed suitable. The portrait of Moses as a political figure became the centre of interest during the 4th century.
