Something about Mary? Remarks about the Five Women in the Matthean Genealogy

P.B.A. Smit

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

The occurrence and significance of the five women in Jesus' genealogy in the Gospel of Matthew has been a source of continuous scholarly debate. Taking a gender-sensitive approach, this contribution argues for looking at the five women as one group, viewing them as simultaneously accentuating the messianic line that Jesus is part of and vindicating his somewhat irregular birth, as well as substantiating the openness of Israel for Gentiles by adducing precedents from Israel's history.
