This volume is a comprehensive but accessible guide to the major questions raised by the Hellenistic Jewish work Joseph and Aseneth. Joseph and Aseneth is an excellent example of the contro-verted issues of text, dating and Sitz im Leben, when such decisions must largely be based on internal evidence. It provides an entrée into the vexed ques-tion of genre, given the numerous literary links that have been suggested for it. Its mysterious but engaging plot and its female protagonist evoke ongoing sociological and feminist debate. It is thus strongly commended for careful study to students and scholars of Judaism, New Testament, sociology and narratology. Intended as a sound basis for such exploration, this guide also offers a fresh narrative reading in which the revelatory character of Joseph and Aseneth is brought to the forefront.
