throughout time the genealogies of Jesus (Matt 1.1-17 and Luke 3.23-38) have been interpreted specifically through harmonization theses and theses that include Mary. However, these theses possess a conjectural and artificial basis that creates unconvincing and unacceptable complications to a critical study. This article reviews those theses, pointing out their errors and incongruities. Subsequently, the author engages in a minute analysis of the genealogies. The result of the analysis is the revelation of new details and observations that lead to more logical, appropriate and enlightening solutions.
