Genesis: Genesis 37-50 (Expositional Commentary) [Paperback]

James Montgomery Boice (Author)

Book Description

Series: Expositional Commentary | Publication Date: May 1, 2006

No man in Scripture lived more consistently and completely for God than did Joseph, a favorite son of Jacob. In times of adversity and in times of prosperity--both of which offered the temptation to deny God and his lordship--Joseph remained steadfast.

Living by Faith is the third and final volume of Genesis. Volume 1 focused on God's relationship to the cosmos and to all peoples of the earth. Volume 2 traced the "new beginning" of God's plan of redemption. In volume 3, Boice follows the complete story of Joseph, a "man for all seasons." By exploring Joseph's loyalty to God, Boice presents him as an example for Christians today. Subjects include:

-"God's Man in Egypt" (37:36)
-"Prospering in Prison" (39:20-23)
-"What Can I Believe?" (45:25-28)
-"The Living Church" (48:1-11)
-"Joseph: A Fruitful Vine" (49:22-26)
-"Blessings upon Children's Children" (50:22-23)

This review is from: Genesis: Genesis 37-50 (Expositional Commentary) (Paperback)

***** Joseph's story is one of the best loved tales in the Bible. Even a superficial reading reveals many things to the casual reader. However, to truly appreciate the beauty of this true parable of forgiveness and providence, one needs a good commentary. Dr. Boice's insights into the subject provides one of the best. Among the illuminating aspects of this extensive lesson are insights into the culture of the ancient world, notes on typology, and ties to other areas of the Scriptures. I can't reccommend this author too highly if you want to gain an in-depth education in Biblical studies in the most convenient and completely interesting way. *****
