Who is Moses from Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography and what is their importance?

In the Old Testament of the Bible, Moses was appointed and inspired by God to bring to the Jewish people his laws, the Ten Commandments, and lead them out of slavery to the Pharaoh of Egypt and into the land promised them. "Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography" suggests that in telling the story of Jesus' life and work, the authors of the New Testament deliberately sought out ways of drawing parallels between the story of Moses and that of Jesus, essentially to set him up with a similar sort of spiritual and moral authority.
