This article aims at exploring what the Bible says about the person of St. Joseph. It argues that Joseph is (a) a just man, (b) a “son of David”, (c) the legal father of Jesus, (d) the head his family, (e) a carpenter, and (d) Joseph carried out the will of God as revealed to him.

The author exposes some of Joseph’s main roles and actions.
