A Great Read

You must read Phillips' earlier book "Act of God" before you read this book. In the first book, Phillips explained how all the 'miracles' as experienced by Moses and the Hebrews (eg parting of the Sea of Reed) could be explained by the volcanic eruption of Thera.In this book, Phillips traced the origin of Moses. Although his conclusions were slightly different from his earlier book, the whole theory seemed to be self consistent and did not actually contradict the first book.In the search for the Mountain of God and the Hebrew God, Phillips came to a "frightening" conclusion that the burning bush as witnessed and interpreted by Moses to be God Himself was actually a hallucination resulting from eating the thorn apple. This is frightening because it seems to suggest that the entire western faith was based on the hallucination of one man three thousand five hundred years ago!Anyway, one may not agree totally with Phillips' conclusions, one should at least praise him for his self-consistency and bold suggestions.It is a good read - keep an extremely open mind!
