What is there to explore? -- Beyond the infancy narratives: the so-called 'silent witness' of the New Testament -- What are the infancy narratives? -- Conceiving Jesus in Matthew -- Conceiving Jesus in Luke -- Behind the New Testament: historical exploration -- After the New Testament: the rise to dominance of the virginal conception tradition -- Reconceiving the tradition: the case of Schleiermacher -- Reconceiving Jesus: Scripture and hermeneutics -- Reconceiving Jesus: Christology and creed.
