**_Who was Moses, really?_**

Through the exploration of the biblical, historical, social, and cultural contexts, biblical scholar J. Daniel Hays offers a biographical account of the life of Moses, illuminating the person that God befriended and empowered for liberation of his people.
Drawing from material in Exodus through Deuteronomy and rich ancient Egyptian historical background, this book brings Moses to life as a real person who lived, breathed, worked, ached, slept, rejoiced, wept, and prayed as we all do. Through Hays's careful analysis of historical, cultural, and literary contexts, you will discover fresh perspectives on Moses' extraordinary journey of discovering who he really is.

_What kind of education did Moses receive in Pharaoh's court? How did he understand his dual identity as both Hebrew and Egyptian? What was he thinking and feeling during his most pivotal moments? What was it like for him to speak directly with God? How do his experiences speak to Christians today?_
