What historical realities lie behind the birth of Jesus and the
description of the Holy Family by the evangelists? In this book,
controversial New Testament scholar Gerd Ludemann investigates all
of the references to Jesus' birth and the Holy Family in the
writings of the earliest church and rival Jewish sources. He
discusses what the New Testament Christmas stories set out to say,
reconstructs the traditions used in them, and answers the question
of what really happened at Jesus' birth. Anti-Christian polemic
stigmatized Jesus as a child born out of wedlock and branded his
mother a sinner. The Christian myth of the virgin birth, Professor
Ludemann argues, maintains the structures of stigmatization,
denying the right of women to sexual and cultural
self-determination. Instead of taking Mary seriously as a woman of
our time and therefore also taking seriously women in our time, he
says, many churches today continue to ignore the often damaging
consequences of the myth of Mary for believing men and women. Gerd
Luedemann is Professor of New Testament at the University of
Gottingen.
