Placing the story of Joseph’s forgiveness of his brothers in the context of God’s promise of the land to Israel, Chang encourages us to reflect on the relationship between the eschatological promise of eternity with God and our neighbor and the call of the church to forgive one another. Through this, Chang calls us to read Joseph’s story as pedagogy in communal forgiveness for Israel, and so through an Eastern, communal lens, and encourages us to reflect more deeply on the function of forgiveness in the building up of the Body of Christ.
