What is involved in the development of a leader? There is not one ingredient that one can isolate and say that is the thing that makes a leader. It is a composite of many circumstances and situations in life that form the life of a leader. In this book, we look at the family heritage of Joseph, his family dynamics growing up, the rejection by his brothers who sell him to slavery, the intrigues under Potiphar's employ, his unjust imprisonment, his rise to power in Egypt, and the reunion with his family. Each of these situations in the development of Joseph's leadership skills are explored. These skills can be applied in the development of current leaders in Christian and secular positions.

The death and resurrection of Joseph Towards the end of Genesis, the narrative slows down to tell the story of Joseph. There is no dispute that Joseph's story is unique, but why does it deserve such focused attention? And how does this story relate to the rest of Genesis? In Figuring Resurrection, Jeffrey Pulse presents the view that Joseph is a death-and-resurrection- figure. A close literary reading of Genesis 37–50 reveals that Joseph's story is one of rejection and restoration, descent and ascent, condemnation and exaltation, exile and return, death and resurrection. Far from a lengthy diversion, Joseph's story of "death and resurrection" plays an important role in the theology of Genesis and later Second Temple Jewish literature. Figuring Resurrection has implications for our understanding of Joseph's narrative, the book of Genesis, Hebrew thinking on the afterlife, and typology.
