This volume is a comprehensive but accessible guide to the major
questions raised by the Hellenistic Jewish work, Joseph and
Aseneth. Joseph and Aseneth is an excellent example of the
controverted issues of text, dating and Sitz im Leben, when such
decisions must be largely based on internal evidence. It provides
an entre into the vexed question of genre, given the numerous
literary links that have been suggested for it. Its mysterious but
engaging plot, and its female protagonist, evoke ongoing
sociological and feminist debate. It is thus strongly commended for
careful study to students and scholars of Judaism, New Testament,
sociology and narratology. Intended as a sound basis for such
exploration, this guide also offers a fresh narrative reading in
which the revelatory character of Joseph and Aseneth is brought to
the forefront.>
