Dear Laura,
I also would believe that the personage in 4Q246 is Jesus in terms of the cannonical approach as I am also Christian, but the author of the text wasn’t Christian.

But I don't understand what you try to say in the second paragraph. It seems like a Jewish interpretation on the suitable sacrifice.

Cain saw his offering wasn't good enough so he offered Abel's flesh, out of love not jealousy, in an attempt to deliver a suitable sacrifice. I read that somewhere and it's the only interpretation that's ever made sense, especially considering that people have been killing one another for god ever since.

]]> Comment on Joseph’s Bones as the Fulfillment of Promise by Steve http://otstory.wordpress.com/2009/01/14/josephs-bones-as-the-fulfillment-of-promise/#comment-195 Steve Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:09:30 +0000 http://otstory.wordpress.com/?p=147#comment-195 I just read Segal's "Joseph's Bones". For me, Segal's main theme wasn't so much the fulfilment of promise but the struggle between God and His chosen people. Segal points to the fidelity displayed by the ancient Israelites to Joseph's remains as a yearning - that the God who has chosen them - YHWH - would be forgiving - just as Joseph was forgiving of his brothers. For me, Segal's most startling argument is that the Hexateuch - read without theological lenses - also offers a YHWH who had to learn how to relate to humankind and to be 'accountable' to this yearning by humans. Segal also points to the striking similarities between Joseph and Yeshua (Jesus). He posits that the story of Jesus presents a God who, having learnt, could finally relate to humankind with forgiveness and love. I just read Segal’s “Joseph’s Bones”.

I did not know when I referred someone to your blog from mine that you had taught at Wartburg. Waverly is sort of a home town for me.
