The Redemptive Display of God's Sovereign Grace: An Exegetical and Literary Commentary on Genesis 37-50

By Jim Hight

The lengthy narrative that closes the book of Genesis is commonly referred to as "The Joseph Story." This protracted story has long been recognized as one of the exceptional pieces of literature to come to us from ancient times. Every facet of the story-its twists of plot, its character development, its sense of drama and timing, and its literary structure are all crafted to leave readers in a place of wonder and awe at its artistry, its literary power, and most importantly, its spiritual message. Throughout this commentary, the reader will discover that the Joseph narrative contains themes, patterns, parallels, cycles, and other literary devices intended to focus the reader's attention. For this reason, the Joseph story is a great place to start learning to look at the Scripture with a fresh set of eyes to appreciation both content and form.
