14. Infancy Narratives

The Infancy Narratives is a term applied to the accounts of the birth and early life of Jesus as given in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Both accounts are concerned with showing the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in the Christ event. Although infancy narratives open two of the four gospels, biblical scholars generally assign them last in the order of composition, thus suggesting, that the passion story was composed first, reflecting the early Christian community\'s effort to make sense of the crucifixion of their Messiah. Next were added accounts of Jesus\' ministry, and only afterwards did the infancy accounts evolve, answering to human curiosity about Jesus\' origins. Books by Dr. Ralph F.
