| Summary: | The aim of this article is to demonstrate that Joseph, the father of Jesus, should probably be seen as a legendary figure. Focusing on the witness to Joseph in the Gospel of Matthew, one can gain some clarity on the dynamics of the social world in which Matthew originated. The Matthean 'Sitz im Leben' reflects the breech between 'formative Judaism' and Jesus followers after the destruction of the temple in 70 CE. Matthew's portrayal of the Joseph tradition also mirrors the so-called particularistic purport of the Matthean community and the role Jerusalem played within this framework. |
