From Prisoner to Prince, The Joseph Story in Biblical TheologyThe story of Joseph is one of the most well known in the Bible, yet is rarely mentioned in Scripture outside the Book of Genesis. How then do we understand Josephs significance in redemptive history? Is Joseph, as has often been suggested, a type of the Messiah?

The story of Joseph is one of the most well known in the Bible, yet is rarely mentioned in Scripture outside the Book of Genesis. How then do we understand Joseph’s significance in redemptive history? Is Joseph, as has often been suggested, a type of the Messiah? From Prisoner to Prince offers a comprehensive commentary on the Joseph narrative, exploring both its function within the overall narrative of Genesis as well as how it is used by later Biblical authors. Samuel Emadi considers the literary and theological context in which Joseph’s story was first written, as well the intra-canonical development of the story via inner-biblical allusion and how it is referenced and alluded to within the New Testament. Thorough, cogent and detailed, Emadi’s study contains the methodological rigour that has often been missing from messianic interpretations of Joseph. Carefully unpacking Joseph’s role throughout the Bible, he demonstrates that this story is both the resolution to Genesis’s narrative and typologically influences the later narration of redemptive history. The culmination is the New Testament’s portrayal of Jesus as an antitypical, new and final Joseph. Insightful and accessible, From Prisoner to Prince is a valuable new addition to the New Studies in Biblical Theology series. Full of stimulating insight, it is ideal for students studying the Joseph story, pastors preaching from Genesis and anyone looking for a study of the life and impact of Joseph that digs deeply into its theological echoes in the wider Bible.. From Prisoner to Prince will leave you with a greater understanding of the story of Joseph both as part of the Book of Genesis, and as part of the whole of Scripture that points ultimately towards Jesus Christ.

This book by Dr Sam Emadi meets a great need. Immensely readable despite its voluminous notes, Emadi's study carefully works through the role of Joseph within Genesis, then his role within the Old Testament canon, before exploring the subtle but undeniable appeal to the Joseph narrative taken up by several New Testament writers. Dr Emadi's case is cautious, understated, but interlocking and cumulative, and, finally, convincing. This book is destined to generate both scholarly discussion and better biblical-theological sermons. D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA
