Moses: A Life

Rating:
Summary: No life to be found in this life
Review: This is not a book for believers. Anyone of the Jewish, Christian or Muslim faith should not pick up this book because you will be seriously offended. Mr. Kirsh takes several Biblical passages out of context to use in his argument. His attitude towards anyone who believes is devoutly religious and believes strongly in the words of the Bible is extreemly condeceding. He says "If you read the Bible with open eyes and an open mind". Therefore presuposing anyone who does not see things his way is narrow minded. It was not until I got trough the first 30 or so pages did I realise that none of the "rave reviews" he received were from any clergy or religious orders. Further I realised that Mr. Kirsch views are not stated out in the open. You don't see his perjorative view towards the Bible, Moses and God until AFTER you've got into reading the book. I would only recomend this book to aetheists and others who are contemptuous of the Bible and the above faiths.
