Joseph and the Gospel of Many Colors: Reading an Old Story in a New Way
Betrayal. Slavery. Power. Redemption. We think we know the story of Joseph - the young man sold into slavery by his own brothers before rising to immense power over all of Egypt. However, is it possible that we've missed the real story behind the story?
In Joseph and the Gospel of Many Colors, Voddie Baucham Jr. helps us to understand the crucial role that the story of Joseph plays in redemptive history. Engaging and thoughtful, this book will help you read the Bible from a Christ-centred perspective and revitalise your love for God - the true hero of history.
"Voddie Baucham has thrown a spanner in the works of those writers and preachers who see little more in the biblical narratives than unrelated moral and spiritual lessons that are ingeniously applied directly to us. By identifying vital theological dimensions that unite the whole Joseph story within Genesis, he steers us towards the Christological significance of this much loved, and much misapplied, account of the sons of Jacob."?
