They trace how medieval mystics and nominalist theologians treated Joseph\u2019s suffering as God\u2019s chosen means of purifying and justifying the elect\u2014effectively replacing preaching with suffering as the instrument of righteousness. The episode concludes by previewing Luther\u2019s break from this view, arguing that Joseph\u2019s story ultimately points not to redemptive suffering, but to the proclamation of the gospel.
