    Do you ever get bored with the genealogies in the Bible?

    Do you ever wonder why we have to bother reading them in Mass?

    After this talk by Dr. Bergsma, you'll never sleep through the genealogy of Jesus again! St. Matthew has packed this list of ancestors with insights, apologetics, and even humor that most readers miss.

    Continuing into the infancy narratives of Matthew 1-2, Dr. Bergsma reveals how Jesus draws together and fulfills three great promises of the Old Testament: the Seed of the Woman, the Seed of Abraham, and the Seed of David.

Further Study Details & FAQ

A closer look at the biblical texts and sources behind this study, for those who want more detail before purchasing.

Key passages & sources examined: The genealogy and infancy narratives of Matthew 1–2 — the four women (Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba), the virgin prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, and the three great promises fulfilled in Jesus: the Seed of the Woman (Genesis 3:15), the Seed of Abraham (Genesis 22:18), and the Seed of David (2 Samuel 7).

What passages and sources does this study examine?

Matthew 1–2 read against Genesis, Isaiah, and 2 Samuel — showing how the genealogy and infancy narratives present Jesus as the fulfillment of the promises to Eve, Abraham, and David.

Why does it spend time on a genealogy?

Because, as the study shows, St. Matthew packs the list with apologetics and Old Testament allusions a first-century Jew would have caught — including the surprising inclusion of four women.

Is this suitable for individual study or a group?

Both. It works for personal study or group discussion, and a printable outline is included.
