We live in a Genesis Three World. Even a quick look around reveals that things in this world are not as they should be. Violence, including war and mass shootings and self-inflicted harm such as suicide, occurs more than regularly. In the words of Paul, We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time (Rom. 8:22). That groaning began in the days of Genesis chapter three. Genesis chapter two assures the listener that all that God created "was very good". Due to the events recorded in Genesis chapter three, "was" is a key word.

Imagine if someone who had never heard of Judaism or Christianity read the Old Testament. How could the relationship between God and humanity possibly be understood? In Joseph's Bones, Segal approaches the Bible from this fresh perspective—one framed by the story of the Israelites' fidelity to Joseph—and finds something an account of the human condition that reads like an existential novel about the struggle of mankind against the unpredictable and often unwarranted wrath of God.
