Joseph, the "father" of Jesus.
Manage episode 391679469 series 3426821
Mary is definitely the more famous of Jesus' mortal parents…but what about Joseph?
Few people have asked about him but he is obviously a significant part of the Christmas story. But what can we know about him? Why are the writers of the New Testament virtually silent about him? What we can infer about his life and the role he played in Jesus' life?
In this episode we discuss what we can know historically about the "father" of Jesus and we explore some of the legends that sprung up about him as found in non-canonical Gospels of the early centuries.
