Unique, Inclusive Perspectives, but Missing Key Points
29 March 2024
Found this series highly realistic, informative and thoughtful, explaining in detail the story of Moses and adding context for that time in history. Almost like an "Inside the Episode." It really helped add meaning to some of the symbolism of the 10 plagues of Egypt, and how they were meant to refute the Egyptian gods to establish the supremecy of the Hebrew God. While some didn't care for it, I enjoyed the commentary from the various religious and historical scholars, and exploring their interpretations from the Christian, Jewish, Muslim and feminist perspectives. They key takeaway for me is that Moses represented multiple peoples and beliefs, but his success was grounded in being the driving force in bringing people together and establishing a moral code that still exists to this day. A bit disappointed that it didn't delve into the Ark of the Covenant, as that is also a topic of interest that would have been great to get perspective on and is still a mystery today. Well worth the time IMHO.
