Previously published in 2019 as Joseph and the way of forgiveness.
The favorite son -- Judah and Tamar -- In Potiphar's palace -- Viceroy of all Egypt -- Joseph reveals himself -- The way of forgiveness.
"In The way of forgiveness, the distinguished writer and translator Stephen Mitchell provides a stirring account of the power of forgiveness. Based on the biblical story of Joseph and his brothers--a brilliant, arrogant young man is sold into slavery and eventually rises to become viceroy of Egypt--The way of forgiveness is a riveting expansion, lush with vivid characters and captivating sense of place. What's new here is the lyrical, witty prose, informed by a wisdom that brings fresh insight to this foundational legend of betrayal and all-embracing forgiveness. This paperback edition of Joseph and the way of forgiveness will capture the hearts and minds of modern readers and show them that this ancient story can still challenge, delight, and astonish"--Back cover.
