• CTD004 Who is Shealtiel's father?

    This article examines the alleged contradiction in the Gospels concerning Shealtiel's father. It proposes understanding the genealogical discrepancy as a difference in the ways kinship was established in biblical times, rather than as a contradiction.

    Luke 1.32-33 (King James Version) :
    He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
