  • Abstract: In addition to the historical question concerning Moses and the narrative writings of the First Testament, it is the understanding of God which is at the heart of J. Rogozinski’s book. Certainly, the author dissociates YHWH, the Mosaic god, the liberating god not only of the Hebrews but potentially of all, from the creator god, but he forcefully draws the opposition between him and El as the exclusive domineering god of a given political body. The relevance and topicality of this last contrast is clear.
