Description

Any regular attendee at School concerts will have heard countless renditions of ‘Any dream will do’! Andrew Lloyd–Webber and Tim Rices’ musical ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’ has certainly brought awareness of Joseph’s name to contemporary society – but has it contributed to our understanding of the historical Joseph, and his role in the Bible’s big picture?

 

Any glance at the first book of the Bible will show that, in terms of sheer space, the story of Joseph is of some considerable importance.

 

Although no tribe is named after him, and the Messiah is not descended from him, Joseph nonetheless occupies a crucial role in the Bible’s drama of redemption. Ultimately Joseph’s story is about God’s intention to save, not just Joseph’s family, but bringing through Judah a saviour for the world.

 

Jesus taught us that the key to unlocking the whole Bible is to see it as a book about himself. Every story whispers his name.

Endorsements

"Here's an excellent, insightful and contemporary introduction to an ancient ‘soap opera': a family's fortunes that have turned the course of history, by the astonishing grace and providence of God, through their greatest relative, Jesus the Saviour of the world. Highly recommended!"

Steve Brady, Senior Minister, First Baptist Church, Grand Cayman

"The story of Joseph is a great symphony on the theme
of God's providence. But a symphony can only be
brought to life by a skilled expert who understands
and can interpret all the nuances of the music. Enter
Liam Goligher and we know the music is in safe hands.
In his hands the Joseph Symphony intrigues, delights,
and captivates our hearts for God and his ways and
fills us with admiration for his wise providence. Here is a book to put melody into the way we live the Christian life."

Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi
