The Illegitimacy of Jesus

Více o knize

The book presents a provocative argument that the Gospel writers Matthew and Luke were aware of the illegitimate conception of Jesus, possibly stemming from Mary's rape. Schaberg suggests that their Gospels contain subtle hints about this knowledge, while primarily focusing on the theological implications of Jesus' birth. By depicting the Messiah's origins in the context of a woman's exploitation, the narrative highlights God's vindication of the oppressed. This work blends precise scholarship with passionate theology and eloquent writing, marking it as a significant yet underappreciated contribution to New Testament studies.
