Appendix 3. References to Moses in the New Testament
by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson
Moses is mentioned many times in the New Testament, always positively, though occasionally with reference to the Old Covenant which is contrasted with the New. At no place is he criticized or denigrated, but rather honored.
