God uses wise human initiatives to accomplish his overarching purposes.Sudha Murthy is a philanthropist, entrepreneur, computer scientist, engineer, teacher and, above all, an extraordinary storyteller. Both covenant and wisdom retain their distinctive contributions and are complementary ways of God establishing his active rule. God's behind-the-scenes activity, coupled with human initiatives, emerges as another Òwisdom-like element. The wisdom strand is evident in the public and private arenas, as well as in Joseph's tested character. The covenant strand is reflected in the connections forged with the rest of Genesis, and the wider Pentateuch.
In the final form of the narrative, both the wisdom and the covenant strands are seen to be prominent. Chapters 46-50 complete the story by weaving the concerns of the previous chapters into the fabric of God's purposes for his covenant people. Joseph's private use of wisdom occupies chapters 42-45, as Joseph brings about change in his brothers and extends forgiveness to them. Joseph's public use of wisdom is considered in chapters 39-41, where he uses power successfully and with discernment. The intriguing story of Tamar in chapter 38 is seen as a kind of microcosm of the entire Joseph story, with Tamar securing life, justice, and reconciliation through her wise initiatives, leading ultimately to the preservation of the line of promise. Chapter 37 establishes that God will cause Joseph to rise to prominence. A literary reading of the chapters examines how these Òwisdom-like elements relate to the story as a whole. While the Joseph narrative is not simply a wisdom tale, there appear to be many features that are suggestive of wisdom. This book studies how wisdom ideas in Genesis 37-50 relate to the themes and motifs that emerge from the Abrahamic promises.
