In this book, Amy L. Balogh brings together comparative religion, Assyriology, and biblical studies to illuminate the status of the Hebrew Bible’s most important figure—Moses. Through comparison with ancient Mesopotamian idols, she reads Moses as YHWH’s idol, offering a new paradigm for understanding divine-human mediation in the ancient Near East.
