Publisher Synopsis
Joseph and Aseneth presents an intriguing query into the function and intention of universal language. ...Hicks-Keeton participates in broader trends in the study of early Judaism which recognizes that later works incorporating scriptural stories did not merely comment on scriptural stories but crafted new tales of their own - tales informed by the author's own historical contexts, concerns, and aspirations. The author of Joseph and Aseneth used thebiblical story as a gateway to voice their own conceptions of Jewishness amidst a landscape of cultural contestation. Hicks-Keeton in Arguing with Aseneth listens to that creative voice and imagines the stakes of Aseneth's story for God-worshipping gentiles. * Krista N. Dalton, Reading Religion * Read more...
