While the Christian New Testament says very little about the childhood of Jesus of Nazareth, this has not prevented people from imagining what sort of child he may have been. We will explore extra-canonical texts to discover the stories that shaped early Christian communities concerning the childhood of this particular Nazarene.

Dr. Brian LePort is a Religious Studies Instructor at TMI Episcopal, San Antonio, TX. He earned a Ph.D.from the University of Bristol. He has published and edited works on early Christianity and the Christian New Testament, the most recent being an edited volume titled Visions and Violence in the Pseudepigrapha (T&T Clark) due out later this year. In 2022, he will begin serving a three year term as a member of the Educational Resources and Review Committee of the Society of Biblical Literature which “addresses the need for accurate, academically-sound classroom resources on sacred texts for secondary schools, as well as resources that inform and educate the general public.”
