More about the book
The book presents a provocative interpretation of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, suggesting that both authors were aware of the circumstances surrounding Jesus' conception, potentially viewing it as a result of rape. Schaberg posits that their narratives contain subtle indications of this knowledge, while primarily focusing on the theological implications of Jesus' birth. The work highlights themes of exploitation and the vindication of the oppressed, showcasing a blend of scholarly rigor, theological insight, and eloquent writing that marks its significance in New Testament studies.
