25/13 - Shemot with Professor Edward Greenstein

Jewish Quest

Professor Edward Greenstein shares how the Moses story both conforms and deviates from fugitive hero narratives of the Ancient Near East?

Professor Greenstein is Professor Emeritus of Bible at Bar-Ilan University. He received the EMET Prize (“Israel’s Nobel”) in Humanities-Biblical Studies for 2020, and his book, Job: A New Translation (Yale University Press, 2019), won the acclaim of the American Library Association, the Association for Jewish Studies, and many others. He is writing a commentary on Lamentations for the Jewish Publication Society. He has also spoken on Jewish Quest on Shemini and also Noach.
