St. Joseph
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and foster-father of Our Lord Jesus
Christ.
Sources. The chief sources of information on the life of St. Joseph are
the first chapters of our first and third Gospels; they are practically also the
only reliable sources, for, whilst, on the holy patriarch's life, as on many
other points connected with the Saviour's history which are left untouched by
the canonical writings, the apocryphal literature is full of details, the
non-admittance of these works into the Canon of the Sacred Books casts a strong
suspicion upon their contents; and, even granted that some of the facts recorded
by them may be founded on trustworthy traditions, it is in most instances next
to impossible to discern and sift these particles of true history from the
fancies with which they are associated. Among these apocryphal productions
dealing more or less extensively with some episodes of St. Joseph's life may be
noted the so-called "Gospel of James", the "Pseudo-Matthew",
the "Gospel of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary", the "Story of
Joseph the Carpenter", and the "Life of the Virgin and Death of
Joseph".
Genealogy. St. Matthew (1:16) calls St. Joseph the son of Jacob; according
to St. Luke (3:23), Heli was his father. This is not the place to recite the
many and most various endeavours to solve the vexing questions arising from the
divergences between both genealogies; nor is it necessary to point out the
explanation which meets best all the requirements of the problem; suffice it to
remind the reader that, contrary to what was once advocated, most modern writers
readily admit that in both documents we possess the genealogy of Joseph, and
that it is quite possible to reconcile their data. -- -- Above

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the mother of God.
In general, the theology and history of Mary the Mother of God follow the
chronological order of their respective sources, i.e. the Old Testament, the New
Testament, the early Christian and Jewish witnesses. -- Above
