Example text
Una teoria sulla nascita di Gesù simile a quella che troviamo nel prologo del Vangelo di Giovanni. Insomma, sulla nascita di Gesù troviamo nello stesso Paolo due interpretazioni diverse e, per certi aspetti, divergenti. Forse queste diverse tradizioni cercavano di spiegare il fatto che Gesù apparisse come un essere in cui la forza di Dio si era manifestata in modo eccezionale. Paolo scrive a metà degli anni Cinquanta. Trent'anni dopo, il Vangelo di Matteo e il Vangelo di Luca ci parlano della nascita verginale di Gesù per opera dello Spirito Santo.
Il Vangelo di Marco il più insistente nell'applicare a Gesù questo appellativo. Dio stesso lo proclama tale per ben due volte e come tale lo riconoscono gli spiriti impuri e il centurione romano che assiste alla sua agonia. È interessante che Marco dica chiaramente (14,62) che Gesù è il messia (christòs), «il figlio di Dio benedetto». Sembra perciò che per lui «figlio di Dio» e «messia» siano equivalenti. In altre parole, Marco sembra dire che Gesù è il messia anche se non è figlio di David da un punto di vista genealogico.
Sarà il greco Origene a castrarsi pur di non affrontare una normale vita sessuale. Vero che il cristianesimo è stato per secoli diffidente nei confronti della sessualità, un atteggiamento che nell'ebraismo è molto più limitato. Il sesso, fino a tempi recentissimi, è stato percepito dai cristiani come una minaccia alla santità. Ed è altrettanto vero che l'ebraismo è stato estremamente attento non alla sessuofobia, ma all'esigenza di vivere in stato di purità. Ciò che rende impuri, però, non è il sesso, ma il contatto con fonti di impurità, in particolare la mestruazione.
