The book explores the unique title of 'dayspring' attributed to Jesus in Luke's gospel, contrasting it with first-century messianic expectations that seldom linked the Messiah to the sunrise or the east. It delves into the prophetic song of Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, to uncover the origins and significance of this title. Through examining historical and theological contexts, the work reveals how this imagery enriches the understanding of Jesus' role and identity within early Christian thought.

Focusing on the virgin birth, this study supports the Apostles' Creed and draws inspiration from Athanasius of Alexandria. It employs exegetical typology to construct a theological and Catholic framework, presenting Jesus' incarnation as a divine act of temple building. The work aims to deepen the understanding of this key doctrine through a detailed exegetical approach.
