This is the study of an anonymous ancient work, usually called Joseph and Aseneth, which narrates the transformation of the daughter of an Egyptian priest into an acceptable spouse for the biblical Joseph, whose marriage to Aseneth is given brief notice in Genesis. Kraemer takes issue with the scholarly consensus that the tale is a Jewish conversion story composed no later than the early second century C. E. Instead, she dates it to the third or fourth century C. E., and argues that, although no definitive answer is presently possible, it may well be a Christianaccount. This critique also raises larger issues about the dating and identification of many similar writings, known as pseudepigrapha. Kraemer reads its account of Aseneth's interactions with an angelic double of Joseph in the context of ancient accounts of encounters with powerful divine beings, including the sun god Helios, and of Neoplatonic ideas about the fate of souls. When Aseneth Met Joseph demonstrates the centrality ofideas about gender in the representation of Aseneth and, by extension, offers implications for broader concerns about gender in Late Antiquity. | When Aseneth Met Joseph by Ross Shepard Kraemer, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
