The Credibility of the Virgin Birth

105 pp. "In this very able contribution to the literature of the much debated question of the virgin birth of our Lord the author reviews the entire controversy from the attack made by Celsus in the second century. He subjects the teachings to the tests of historic credibility, weighs the testimony as presented in the gospel records; considers the criticism of these sources; discusses the "influence theories"; devotes a chapter to the secondary witnesses, such as the attitude of the early church toward the miracle, and the statement in the Apostles' Creed."
