Professor Kozlowski tackles the messy and enigmatic one-two punch of the Jacob and Joseph narratives in the back half of Genesis, with emphasis on the weird and difficult passages like Jacob's complicated polygamous love life, his equally-strange relationship with God, and the apparently-nonsensical story of Judah and Tamar. We'll also look at the themes and implications suggested by these stories, as a way of preparing for the big show of the Exodus in the coming weeks.
