Instead of the usual interpretation as an Horatio Alger success story, the text proposes that we are presented with a cautionary tale of high achievement and the pursuit of success. In the context of the larger biblical narrative, Joseph's short-term success leads to the enslavement of his descendants and the centuries-long derailment of the destiny of the Children of Israel. The self-limiting nature of the pursuit of power is just one of the themes illuminated in this work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46864371744919,"sku":"9780786468508","price":3731.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786468508.webp?v=1769974042","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-joseph-paradox-a-radical-reading-of-genesis-37-50-9780786468508","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
