The illegitimacy of Jesus : a feminist theological interpretation of the infancy narratives

1 Introduction. 2 Matthew's account of Jesus' origin. 3 Luke's account. 4 The pre-gospel tradition and post-gospel traditions.

'This controversial challenge to traditional interpretations of the Infancy Narratives and Divine Conception is a radical departure from the mainline ecclesiastical understanding of the first chapters of Matthew and Luke. The Illegitimacy of Jesus argues that these texts are not about a supernatural conception without a human father, but an illegitimate pregnancy and divine sonship.'
