This study of the virgin birth affirms the doctrine of the Apostles' Creed and seeks to follow in the footsteps of Athanasius of Alexandria by using exegetical typology. It builds an exegetical, theological, and Catholic case for understanding Jesus' incarnation as an act of divine temple construction.

Christian theology has largely focused on Jesus' death but has given relatively little attention to his sufferings. He explains that Jesus' sufferings demonstrate the wisdom of God's plan to provide a substitute for foolish sinners. Jesus was beaten as a fool - even though he was no fool, in order to fulfill God's loving plan of salvation.

This study begins by situating the material of Luke-Acts within the framework of Jewish inaugurated eschatology. It is a step toward re-framing the whole relationship between Luke and Acts within inaugurated eschatology.
