audiobook A Restatement of Religion: Swami Vivekananda and the Making of Hindu Nationalism by Jyotirmaya Sharma in History

Description

An unprecedented portrait of Moses's inner world and perplexing character; by a distinguished biblical scholar No figure looms larger in Jewish culture than Moses; and few have stories more enigmatic. Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg; acclaimed for her many books on Jewish thought; turns her attention to Moses in this remarkably rich; evocative book. Drawing on a broad range of sources—literary as well as psychoanalytic; a wealth of classical Jewish texts alongside George Eliot; W. G. Sebald; and Werner Herzog—Zornberg offers a vivid and original portrait of the biblical Moses. Moses's vexing personality; his uncertain origins; and his turbulent relations with his own people are acutely explored by Zornberg; who sees this story; told and retold; as crucial not only to the biblical past but also to the future of Jewish history.
