Joseph's Journey

After having studied the myths about the beginnings of the universe and of man in Gen: 1-11, and after having seen the lives of the Patriarchs of Israel, at long last, we are about to close the book of Genesis with the saga of Joseph, Jacob's favorite son.

A saga is a prolonged story colored with many interesting details and exciting twists and turns. In the story of Joseph, you will see almost every kind of thing that happened to the Patriarchs occur in his life as well. But while the story itself may be long and winding, the point of this literary form is quite simple: what happened to the Great Patriarchs, if it happened to Joseph, can also happen to you, to me and to any of us who are also Jacob's sons by faith.

With that, here are the slides for our lesson on Joseph. As you receive your grades, may you accept them with deep and real hope and not just shallow optimism. God bless all of you.
