About the Author
Moses: Man Among Men? is a must-read on what it means to be a man in the Bible that breathes new life into its ancient and familiar stories. Rees’s fresh take transforms Moses the myth into Moses the man. By showing how Moses becomes a man, then outmans all those upon whom his manhood depends, Rees compellingly reveals the complexity of Moses’s character and relationships that any contemporary reader will recognize and appreciate.

How does the Bible portray the many-sided masculinities of the man Moses? Anthony Rees argues in his book Moses: Man Among Men? that the best way to answer that question is to focus on Moses’ relationships with other male characters in the Bible—brother Aaron, Pharaoh, father-in-law Jethro, cousin Korah, nephew Phinehas, and most significantly, God/YHWH. This well written, nuanced, and insightful literary portrait of Moses brings together careful narrative analysis, masculinity studies, and judicious attention to detail to give the reader a compelling portrait of the man Moses, the most important leader of ancient Israel in the Hebrew Bible.
