Produktbeschreibung

Arguing with Aseneth reads the ancient romance Joseph and Aseneth as a participant in ancient Jewish debates around gentile access to Israel's God. It traces how Joseph and Aseneth builds a case through its heroine for gentile incorporation and how other ancient Jewish thinkers, including Paul, would have argued back.
