Moses the Lawgiver (1975) is a novel by Australian writer Thomas Keneally.[1] The novel is based on the British television series "Moses the Lawgiver", for which Anthony Burgess wrote the script.[2]

Story outline

[edit]

The novel follows the story of the biblical figure Moses who found the Ten Commandments and parted the Red Sea.

Critical reception

[edit]

In her review of the book in The Australian Women's Weekly Nicola Worsley concluded: "I will admit to being beguiled by the whole publication. Thomas Keneally, with a novelist's imagination and insight, has taken familiar and unfamiliar aspects of Moses' life to bring to interesting reality this dramatic tale."[3]
