Download or read book The Joseph Paradox written by Hillel I. Millgram and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reader-friendly treatment of the Joseph story--one of the most popular tales in the Bible. Instead of the usual interpretation as an Horatio Alger success story, the text proposes that we are presented with a cautionary tale of high achievement and the pursuit of success. In the context of the larger biblical narrative, Joseph's short-term success leads to the enslavement of his descendants and the centuries-long derailment of the destiny of the Children of Israel. The self-limiting nature of the pursuit of power is just one of the themes illuminated in this work.
