There is no dispute that Joseph's story is unique, but why does it deserve such focused attention? And how does this story relate to the rest of Genesis?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFiguring Resurrection\u003c\/i\u003e, Jeffrey Pulse presents the view that Joseph is a death-and-resurrection figure. A close literary reading of Genesis 37-50 reveals that Joseph's story is one of rejection and restoration, descent and ascent, condemnation and exaltation, exile and return, death and resurrection. Far from a lengthy diversion, Joseph's story of \"death and resurrection\" plays an important role in the theology of Genesis and later Second Temple Jewish literature. \u003ci\u003eFiguring Resurrection\u003c\/i\u003e has implications for our understanding of Joseph's narrative, the book of Genesis, Hebrew thinking on the afterlife, and typology.","brand":"Jeffrey Pulse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42346563207245,"sku":"9781683594536","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8532\/3085\/files\/9781683594536.jpg?v=1771964736","url":"https:\/\/bakerpublishinggroup.com\/products\/9781683594536_figuring-resurrection","provider":"Baker Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
