Possible addition to the 'Film' subject + addition of a Theatre subject

[edit]

I was wondering, would it be possible to add that the film 'The Prince of Egypt' depicts Moses and the Egyptian Pharaoh as Rameses? It's just so as to make clear that the film is merely an adaptation with artistic license. Also, a musical theatre adaptation of 'The Prince of Egypt' was released in London in 2020, on the West End. Could someone add in that subject, to contribute to the depictions of Moses in popular culture? Thanks! Two Red Engines

The Etymology

[edit]

While the Wikipedia page gives the Egyptian version of Yehuda's etymology as "mw-zꜣ", this is actually a neat piece of original scholarship. Yehuda and Ulmer (the source) actually propose "mw-š". This section should be revised beyond this issue, but nevertheless it is inappropriate to allow such a misattribution to stand.

In the "Prophet and deliverer of Israel" section,

"There, on Mount Horeb, God appeared to Moses aw a burning bush ..." should be changed to "There, on Mount Horeb, God appeared to Moses as a burning bush ..." Loxbagelcapers (talk) 22:44, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Patristic, conservative Protestant and reformed section

[edit]

There is no section for this. I heavily revised and checked and rechecked. Added a balanced section on Patristic, Evangelical, and Reformed views of Moses as a Christ figure, with supporting biblical references (e.g., Luke 9:30–31; Hebrews 3:1–6) and theologians. Aimed to complement the existing Catholic section while maintaining neutrality and sourcing per Wikipedia guidelines. Willing to revise for length, tone, or sourcing if needed.

I believe the main problem is you aren’t citing WP:reliable sources. Just citing the Bible doesn’t work.—-Ermenrich (talk) 19:42, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Great. I added many additional citations. Also added a distinction from a reformed view the greatest lawgiver Moses didn’t enter the promised land due to disobedience while Joshua and Caleb entered by faith. A commonly held view Whirlingmerc (talk) 22:24, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This subsection should cover Protestant views of Moses. Why is there a paragraph on Joshua and a paragraph on John the Baptist? Mikewem (talk) 23:03, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
