Utilizing the theory of hegemonic masculinity and homosociality, Moses: Man Among Men? explores the relationships that Moses shares with other male characters. While the dynamic nature of hegemonic masculinity is recognized, Anthony Rees builds on the categories of masculinity already well-established within the existing literature on masculinity in Old Testament characterization. The author argues that almost uniformly, Moses is presented in ways which elevate him at the expense of these other male characters. Recognizing the social dimension of gender performance, and in particular the homosocial nature of masculine identity, this book also pays attention to the social nature of these relationships, in particular those of Moses’ family members.

Moses: Man Among Men? is a must-read on what it means to be a man in the Bible that breathes new life into its ancient and familiar stories. Rees’s fresh take transforms Moses the myth into Moses the man. By showing how Moses becomes a man, then outmans all those upon whom his manhood depends, Rees compellingly reveals the complexity of Moses’s character and relationships that any contemporary reader will recognize and appreciate.
