Moses and the American Experiment

Bruce Feiler, in Time magazine this week, has a fascinating article on how Moses' biblical story has been used to shape American leaders and events.

Of course, I disagree strongly with how Moses has been co-opted to support any ends of liberation, a la liberation theology. Liberation theology, in its too-close-of-a-union with Marxist ideology, devalues the human at the expense of a downtrodden collective.

But read the article. You'll find it interesting.
