- Summary:
- "Aseneth of Egypt examines texts of Joseph and Aseneth to propose a base storyline that can be used to locate the story's origin. Patricia D. Ahearne-Kroll contextualizes the story of Joseph and Aseneth in Hellenistic Egypt by demonstrating how the base storyline reflects the literary impulse of Greek-speaking Jewish writers to redescribe their identity in Egypt, Ptolemaic strategies of legitimation of power, and Judean connections to the land of Egypt"-- Provided by publisher.
