"Feldman's intention is to produce a comprehensive, systematic account of the depiction of Moses by Philo, chiefly by Philo's "De Vita Mosis "("Mos."). In this, he succeeds. He organizes his work in imitation of "Mos".: part one proceeds chronologically through the life of Moses; part two he organizes topically around 'virtues' of Moses, as does Philo." --"Bulletin for Biblical Research"

"In this volume Feldman applies to Philo's Moses the kind of analysis he brought to bear on Josephus' study of biblical personalities. . . . This is a book packed with detail and analysis that would seem to be primarily of interest to a scholar of ancient Judaism. But the generally biblically literate reader interested in late antiquity would find this detail intriguing." --"Shofar: ""An Interdisciplinary Journal of Jewish Studies"

"Feldman shows how Philo presents an aretalogy similar to that of a mythical divine and heroic figure by glorifying the birth, education, and virtues of Moses. He demonstrates that Philo is careful to explain in a scientific way those portions of the Bible, particularly miracles, that appear incredible to his skeptical Hellenistic readers. Moses, as presented by Philo, emerges as unique among ancient law givers." --"International Review of Biblical Studies"
