Synopsis

Moses Meets Israel: The Origins of One God explores the origins of monotheism and the early history of Moses. It looks at the Bible as a living record of history and examines the sources of faith.

The ancient scribes provided the raw material of the Bible by faithfully recording all the peoples' traditions despite inherent ambiguities and contradictions. To this, Dr. Winsten applies text criticism, contemporary scientific data, and rational analysis, all of which yield a more coherent picture of early Israel.
