Matthew Marohl's study of the heated debate concerning the circumstances surrounding Jesus' conception and birth is such a new slant on a highly controverted story. It is sure to broaden our cultural vista, shed light on an overlooked aspect of Joseph's dilemma, and rustle not a few feathers along the way."" John H. Elliott, Professor Emeritus, University of San Francisco. ""Marohl's study of honor killings, be they modern or ancient, opens up new avenues of interpretation for the Gospel of Matthew's infancy narrative. Taking into consideration that honor and shame were pivotal values of the social world in question, this study demonstrates that Mary's pregnancy, as well as Joseph's initial reaction to it, originally invoked the familiar social dimensions of damaging and protecting family honor, something now lost to modern readers."" Markus Cromhout, Department of New Testament Studies, University of Pretoria. ""Marohl's unique combination of cultural anthropology and honor killings casts new light on the Gospel's meaning and intended outcome."" Dietmar Neufeld, Professor of Christian Origins, University of British Columbia." Books that bring a new slant to bear on old disputed texts and unresolved issues are always welcomed.
