The story of Joseph is one of the most well known in the Bible, yet
is rarely mentioned in Scripture outside the Book of Genesis. How
then do we understand Joseph's significance in redemptive history?
Is Joseph, as has often been suggested, a type of the Messiah? From
Prisoner to Prince offers a comprehensive commentary on the Joseph
narrative, exploring both its function within the overall narrative
of Genesis as well as how it is used by later Biblical authors.
Samuel Emadi considers the literary and theological context in
which Joseph's story was first written, as well the intra-canonical
development of the story via inner-biblical allusion and how it is
referenced and alluded to within the New Testament. Thorough,
cogent and detailed, Emadi's study contains the methodological
rigour that has often been missing from messianic interpretations
of Joseph. Carefully unpacking Joseph's role throughout the Bible,
he demonstrates that this story is both the resolution to Genesis's
narrative and typologically influences the later narration of
redemptive history. The culmination is the New Testament's
portrayal of Jesus as an antitypical, new and final Joseph.
Insightful and accessible, From Prisoner to Prince is a valuable
new addition to the New Studies in Biblical Theology series. Full
of stimulating insight, it is ideal for students studying the
Joseph story, pastors preaching from Genesis and anyone looking for
a study of the life and impact of Joseph that digs deeply into its
theological echoes in the wider Bible.. From Prisoner to Prince
will leave you with a greater understanding of the story of Joseph
both as part of the Book of Genesis, and as part of the whole of
Scripture that points ultimately towards Jesus Christ.
