Exalted for centuries as a hero and author of the Bible, Moses is inseparable from biblical tradition itself. Moses is also an inherently ambiguous figure and a perennial focus of controversy, from ancient disputes of priestly rivalry to modern issues of class, gender and race. In Rewriting Moses, Brian Britt analyses elements of polemic and ideology in the Moses of the Bible, of film, novel, visual art and scholarship. He argues that the biblical Moses lives within writing, while the post-biblical Moses lives more often in biography. Yet later rewritings of Moses refract biblical traditions of writing in surprising ways. Rewriting Moses provides an original account of the Freudian insight that traditions preserve what they repress. This is volume 14 in the Gender, Cutlure, Theory series and is volume 402 in the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Supplements series.

My book is a collection of poems and lyrics that I started writing about 30 years ago and finally decided to put on something more permanent. I like to write about the inequalities that seems to permeate throughout our country, from the racial ignorance and bigotry or the fact that the people that are supposed to represent us seem to never have our collective interest at heart. We never challenge the things we know to be true or false anymore. LIES THAT DAMAGE OUR COUNTRY SHOULD NEVER BE TOLERATED NOR REPEATED. WE NEED TO DEMAND HONESTY AND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS. I WRITE WHAT I FEEL AND WHAT I SEE AS AN ASSAULT ON ALL OF US, AND ON OUR DEMOCRACY.
