I recently edited this biography of Moses written by Prof. Shlomo Giora Shoham of Tel Aviv University and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing (CSP).
*Moses: The Righteous Sky Gazer* should appeal to everyone interested in the evolution of Jewish monotheism including the influence of Mesopotamian and Midianite concepts of god and the monotheistic Aten religion espoused by Pharaoh Akhenaten. Many of the facts in *S**ky Gazer *are based on archaeological evidence unearthed at Amarna, previously called Akhet-Aten, the capital city built by Akhenaten. *Sky Gazer* by Shoham must be compared with *Moses and Monotheism *by Freud and *Moses* by Martin Buber (a mentor and teacher of Prof. Shoham). Perhaps you know a student who can produce this comparison as a thesis topic? Shoham's book is a historical romance written as if it were an autobiography composed by Moses himself. It is full of dialog that would be very easy to convert into a screen play or movie. The CSP website for this book is at http://www.cambridgescholars.com/moses It is also available from Amazon at http://tinyurl.com/ml4trvk You can see a review at http://tinyurl.com/pttsdeg an author bio at http://tinyurl.com/nlawuzk and a 3-minute author interview video at http://tinyurl.com/ofl278d I prepared a 40-slide PowerPoint presentation for this book. View or download it free at http://tinyurl.com/q6ga9wn I compiled a 300+ item glossary for the book with clickable links to additional information on the web.
