dc.description.abstractIn the peasant society of Jesus' world the family revolved around the father. The father and the mother were the source of the family, not only in the biological sense, but because their interaction with their children created the structures of society. In first-century Medite"anean culture, fatherlessness led to marginalization. Seen against the background of the patriarchal mind set of Israelites in the Second Temple period, a fatherless son would have been without social identity. He would have been deba"ed from being called child of Abraham (that is child of God) and from the privilege of being given a daughter in marriage. He would be denied access to the court of the Israelites in the Temple. In this article, with ~he help of cross-cultural anthropology and cultural psychology, the life of the historical Jesus is explained in social-scientific terms against the background of the marriage regulations determined by the Temple. The historical Jesus is seen as someone who suffered the stigma of being fatherless but who trusted God as father.en_US
