Project Genesis: An Interfaith Conversation Between Two Clergy

Sibling rivalry can be incredibly complicated- Joseph’s story

There is more to the Joseph story than Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It certainly doesn’t begin or end there. If we hadn’t gotten the message about the real-life dangers of sibling rivalry from earlier Genesis stories, this one makes it all too painfully clear on what happens when a parent prefers one child over another.

Project Genesis: The same story can have multiple meanings. The books of the Old Testament in particular are ripe with symbol, metaphor, and character, providing the reader with the opportunity to unpack and analyze the meanings. In Project Genesis, we will discuss different interpretations of some of the beloved stories we learned as children and now revisit as adults.
