The Story Of Moses

This is an engaging and graceful book that relates the familiar story of Moses in a new and thought-provoking way according to Islamic traditional sources. It is interesting both because it provides an unusual perspective on an old tale but also because it provides a rare insight into true Islamic and Sufi thinking. It is beautifully designed and enhanced with over 50 original and colorful paintings. This is what others had to say about it: "In a world in which resentment and hostility have replaced tolerance and understanding - this lovely book speaks from the heart of traditional Islam about the spiritual lessons to be drawn from the story of the prophet Moses who unites us all." - Her Majesty Queen Noor of Jordan "A truly beautiful book, well presented with seemingly simple yet illuminating illustrations! I was so immersed in it that it was difficult to put down until the end! Lessons learnt from these stories retold encourage readers to reflect on our own life journeys in our quest to reach the Divine Presence. Indeed a must-read!" - HH Raja Eleena binti Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak, Malaysia "As one of the great scholars of Islam said, "The Wisdom of Moses is manifold." And, indeed, the story of this Prophet has accompanied mankind in so many different ways and was told with so many intentions. He is mostly remembered for speaking with God and for bringing his people into the presence of the Divine. But his story was not only told to remember the joy of being close to God, but also, and especially in recent times, to convey the unwillingness to accept this closeness. This book tells the story, not as someone wants it to be, but as it was given by the Divine Storyteller Himself. Not as an expression of my or your preferences, but as an invitation to reflect and as a means to "make firm your heart." Because that is most needed. And that is most excellently accomplished through "The Story of Moses" you have before you, because its intention is not to impose but to serve." - Steffen A.J. Stelzer, Chair of the Department of Philosophy, The American University in Cairo

One man’s quest to find the oldest Bible scrolls in the world and uncover the story of the brilliant, doomed antiquarian accused of forging them. In the summer of 1883, Moses Wilhelm Shapira—archaeological treasure hunter and inveterate social climber—showed up unannounced in London claiming to have discovered the oldest copy of the Bible in the world. But before the museum could pony up his £1 million asking price for the scrolls—which discovery called into question the divine authorship of the scriptures—Shapira’s nemesis, the French archaeologist Charles Clermont-Ganneau, denounced the manuscripts, turning the public against him. Distraught over this humiliating public rebuke, Shapira fled to the Netherlands and committed suicide. Then, in 1947 the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered. Noting the similarities between these and Shapira’s scrolls, scholars made efforts to re-examine Shapira’s case, but it was too late: the primary piece of evidence, the parchment scrolls themselves had mysteriously vanished. Tigay, journalist and son of a renowned Biblical scholar, was galvanized by this peculiar story and this indecipherable man, and became determined to find the scrolls. He sets out on a quest that takes him to Australia, England, Holland, Germany where he meets Shapira’s still aggrieved descendants and Jerusalem where Shapira is still referred to in the present tense as a “Naughty boy”. He wades into museum storerooms, musty English attics, and even the Jordanian gorge where the scrolls were said to have been found all in a tireless effort to uncover the truth about the scrolls and about Shapira, himself. At once historical drama and modern-day mystery, The Lost Book of Moses explores the nineteenth-century disappearance of Shapira’s scrolls and Tigay's globetrotting hunt for the ancient manuscript. As it follows Tigay’s trail to the truth, the book brings to light a flamboyant, romantic, devious, and ultimately tragic personality in a story that vibrates with the suspense of a classic detective tale.

Moses recalls the adventures God led him on including freeing the Israelites, the miracles from God, and traveling across the desert.

In his insightful book, The Making of a Leader, Frank Damazio lays out for the serious student a broad discussion of what it means to be responsible for a group of "followers.

THE CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: AN INTERNATIONAL WORK OF REFERENCE ON THE CONSTITUTION, DOCTRINE, DISCIPLINE, AND HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CHARLES G. HERBERMANN — The Greatest and Largest Catholic Encyclopedia in existence! — Complete Edition; Includes all 16 Volumes, now updated according to Alphabet — 11,490 Articles, over 14 Million Words, equivalent to 175 Full-length Books! — Includes an Active Index to each Alphabet and all Articles, with NCX Navigation — Includes Illustrations by Gustave Dore Publisher: This E-Book is very large. Please ensure you have sufficient resources on your device before purchase. The Catholic Encyclopedia, as its name implies, proposes to give its readers full and authoritative information on the entire cycle of Catholic interests, action and doctrine. What the Church teaches and has taught; what she has done and is still doing for the highest welfare of mankind; her methods, past and present; her struggles, her triumphs, and the achievements of her members, not only for her own immediate benefit, but for the broadening and deepening of all true science, literature and art—all come within the scope of the Catholic Encyclopedia. It differs from the general encyclopedia in omitting facts and information which have no relation to the Church. On the other hand, it is not exclusively a church encyclopedia, nor is it limited to the ecclesiastical sciences and the doings of churchmen. It records all that Catholics have done, not only in behalf of charity and morals, but also for the intellectual and artistic development of mankind. It chronicles what Catholic artists, educators, poets, scientists and men of action have achieved in their several provinces. In this respect it differs from most other Catholic encyclopedias. The Editors are fully aware that there is no specifically Catholic science, that mathematics, physiology and other branches of human knowledge are neither Catholic, Jewish, nor Protestant; but when it is commonly asserted that Catholic principles are an obstacle to scientific research, it seems not only proper but needful to register what and how much Catholics have contributed to every department of knowledge. Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions. In all things the object of the Encyclopedia is to give the whole truth without prejudice, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archæology, and other sciences are given careful consideration. The work is entirely new, and not merely a translation or a compilation from other encyclopedia sources. The Editors have insisted that the articles should contain the latest and most accurate information to be obtained from the standard works on each subject. Contributors have been chosen for their special knowledge and skill in presenting the subject, and they assume the responsibility for what they have written. Representing as they do Catholic scholarship in every part of the world, they give the work an international character. PUBLISHER: CATHOLIC WAY PUBLISHING

Konrad Schmid is a Swiss biblical scholar who belongs to a larger group of Continental researchers proposing new directions in the study of the Pentateuch. In this volume, a translation of his Erzväter und Exodus, Schmid argues that the ancestor tradition in Genesis and the Moses story in Exodus were two competing traditions of Israel’s origins and were not combined until the time of the Priestly Code—that is, the early Persian period. Schmid interacts with the long tradition of European scholarship on the Hebrew Bible but departs from some of the main tenets of the Documentary Hypothesis: he argues that the pre-Priestly material in both text blocks is literarily and theologically so divergent that their present linkage is more appropriately interpreted as the result of a secondary redaction than as thematic variation stemming from J’s oral prehistory. He dates Genesis–2 Kings to the Persian period and considers it a redactional work that, in its present shape, is a historical introduction to the message of future hope presented in the prophetic corpus of Isaiah-Malachi. Scholars and students alike will be pleased that this translation makes Schmid’s important work readily available in English, both for the contributions made by Schmid and the summary of continental interpretation that he presents. In this edition, some passages have been expanded or modified in order to clarify issues or to engage with more-recent scholarship. The notes and bibliography have also been updated. Dr. Schmid is Professor of Old Testament and Early Judaism at the University of Zürich.
