DIVThe complex and dramatic story of Joseph is the most sustained narrative in Genesis. Many call it a literary masterpiece anda story of great depth that can be read on many levels. In a lucid and engaging style Alan T. Levenson brings the voices of Philo Josephus Midrash and medieval commentators as well as a wide range of modern scholars into dialogue about this complex biblical figure.BR /BR / Levenson explores such questions as: Why did Joseph&rsquo:s brothers hate him so? What is achieved by Joseph&rsquo:s ups and downs on the path to extraordinary success? Why didn&rsquo:t Joseph tell his father he was alive and ruling Egypt? What was Joseph like as a husband and father? Was Joseph just or cruel in testing his brothers&rsquo: characters?BR /BR / Levenson deftly shows how an unbroken chain of interpretive traditions mainly literary but also artistic have added to the depth of this fascinating and unique character.BR /BR / BR /BR / //DIVDIVAcknowledgments BR / Introduction BR / 1.

Briggs Society for Old Testament Study Book List/DIVDIV'Levenson has set a place at the table for all interested readers inviting all to listen in on significant questions in a conversation that has been going on for millennia. . . . I would without hesitation recommend this book to anyone with more than a casual interest in the Joseph story and especially to Bible readers who are unaware of the rich resources of Jewish biblical interpretation. All readers will benefit from Levensons enthusiasm scholarship and broad perspective. Those who have never had a close encounter with Jewish biblical scholarship will come away educated and even perhaps a bit amazed.'&mdash:Kapali LyonIBiography/I/DIVDIV&ldquo:An exciting book. Levenson has a wonderful ability to distill classic and contemporary
