Infancy Narratives

The Infancy Narrative is a literary-theological construct within the Synoptic Gospels that comprises the introductory pericopes in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, distinguished by their focus on the birth, infancy, and childhood of Jesus, and structured to convey Christological and soteriological themes through narrative elements such as divine revelation, fulfillment of prophecy, and genealogical legitimacy.
