Infancy Narratives
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Early Christians had no issue in grasping the biographical details of Jesus’ life. Their struggle, avers Jean Daniélou, was to go beyond the historical and see the “divine content” of those details. Modern Christians tend toward the opposite mistake. Modernist criticism dismisses the infancy narratives as the stuff of “pure legend.” Yet the historicity of these stories is of fundamental importance; as Daniélou emphasizes, “If Christ was not really conceived by the Holy Spirit, did not really rise from the dead, then our faith is vain.” Considering the Genealogy, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi, and the Finding in the Temple, Daniélou demonstrates how the Evangelists’ literary forms and techniques worked to uphold the facts of Christ’s humanity and thus express “a total view of history which sees events in all their dimensions.”The infancy narratives, in the words of Pope Benedict XVI, recount “real history, theologically thought through and interpreted,” and thus give a deeper understanding of the the mystery of Jesus. The same can well be said of Daniélou’s exegesis in The Infancy Narratives.
