Over the last few days I have revised the page on the Joseph Cycle of stories in Genesis. I have also added a concluding summary to that chapter. I hope you enjoy the new material.
The Joseph Story and more for the chapter on Genesis
Category: Genesis
Genesis 1—11
I have published two sections of my chapter on Genesis, a brief introduction, and the section that I call the “prehistory.” The first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis are set in the time before writing was invented. They are based on oral traditions. Since history is essentially a written phenomenon, we can talk about such early narratives as prehistory.
As with the other chapters, there is a form at the end of each section to allow you to offer comments or ask questions.
