Moses in Greco-Roman Paganism (Society of Biblical Literature, Monograph Series, Vol. 16)

The image of Moses has been influenced primarily by Jewish and Christian writings. For a more comprehensive picture, however, Dr. Gager has chosen to explore the old world religious records of the Greco-Roman world. His careful examinations not only disclose the breadth and diversity of material to be found about Moses in these documents but also contribute significantly to the evaluation of this extraordinary man.
