    Saint Joseph: His Life And His Role In The Church Today

    Now, perhaps the first time, the real Joseph of Nazareth emerges from behind the legends and myths that have dominated earlier works. This is not a pallid icon gazing at a lily, but a rugged flesh and blood carpenter deeply in love with his wife, passionately devoted to his son, skilled at his work, and completely dedicated to God's will.

    No words of St. Joseph are recorded in Scripture. In fact, little mention is made of him. Yet, despite these seeming limitations, the Church nonetheless possesses an indescribably rich knowledge of St. Joseph, a fact which The Life and Glories of St. Joseph by Edward Healy Thompson amply demonstrates. Based mainly on Scripture, but supported also by tradition and the depositions of saints, it is a carefully reasoned analysis of the entirety of that great saint's role in the history of Salvation and the life of the Church.

    Catholic Teaching: Is St. Joseph the Father of Jesus?

    There is more than one opinion today on Joseph’s relationship to Jesus. Here are some you may have heard:

    Joseph was possibly the biological father of Jesus, but the Gospels deny it, claiming that Jesus was the product of a virgin birth, making him more than a man.
    Jesus was really the product of a rape, and Joseph stepped up to the plate and helped Mary and her baby.

    Joseph was not the father of Jesus because Jesus had no biological father; he was born to the Virgin Mary by the miraculous overshadowing of the Holy Spirit.

    So what is the truth? Is it theologically and historically correct to call Joseph the father of Jesus? The answer is both yes and no.
