Genesis 90 - Gen. 40:1-23 - FORSAKEN BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 9

GOD'S PARADIGM OF SALVATION OF THE WORLD

In previous lessons I mentioned that Dr. John Currid is a main resource for this series, “The Gospel According to Moses: Genesis.”  This is also true for the series on Exodus as well.  He has an amazing Torah commentary series that I use as a research and study tool.  The reason is that Dr. Currid is an expert renowned Egyptologist and Bible historian.  In his commentary he really helps us reconnect to the culture of those days to understand God’s word in context.  One resource that he has is his book, “Against the Gods.” 

 

In this book Dr. Currid shows that God attacks Egypt, its religion, its gods, again and again in the Torah using His own word as a polemic - a strong written or spoken attack against someone else's opinions, beliefs, practices, etc.  You can study se key examples of this concept in podcasts and vidcasts from Light of Menorah.  Here's links to several.

As I mentioned in this podcast I will give you a link to get your FREE copy of Dr. Currid’s book, “Against the Gods.”  I highly recommend it for serious Bible students who want to go beyond simply reading the Bible but do actually study His word so as to expand and enrich our understanding of God’s word and to strengthen us a His true disciples.  You can not be a disciple, a true disciple as in the culture of Jesus’ day, without studying His word and not just read His word.  So, here’s the link to download Dr. Currid’s book in PDF format.

Another link you may find interesting is a scholarly article from Dr. Ken Kitchens.  His article is on the ancient papyrus found in 1955.  Tis papyrus details Egyptian prison in the Middle Kingdom of ancient Egypt or between 2040-1782 B.C.  This papyrus is archaeological proof of the words we read in the saga of Joseph and his time in prison.
