- Title
Jewish Identity under Foreign Rule: Daniel 2 as a Reconfiguration of Genesis 41.
- Authors
Rindge, Matthew S.
- Abstract
The article presents a literary criticism of the Old Testament book of Daniel, examining its allusions to the book of Genesis in its depiction of Jewish identity in exile under the rule of foreign nations. The author suggests that the passage of Daniel 2 reconfigures the archetype of Joseph as seen in Genesis 41. Literary and intertextual similarities between the two chapters are given along with specific analysis of their discrepancies.
