The Conception/Birth of Jesus as a Christological Moment

Virginia Theological Seminary, Alexandria, VA 22304

This paper is intended as a critique of Professor Raymond Brown's thesis that the Christology expressed in the birth narratives /1/ developed by a process of pushing back the post-resurrection Christology of Jesus' enthronement as Son of God first to the baptism and finally to his conception/birth. The argument is that the conception/birth was a christological moment with the Son of David Christology. It remains such in the sending of the Son pattern (which we argue should be distinguished from the pre-existence Christology), whence it provided the background for the Christology of the virginal-pneumatic conception.
