VIRGIN
BIRTH DOUBTED

I would not put it past God to arrange a Virgin Birth if he wanted to, but I very much doubt if he did.

Bishop David Jenkins

In time, the virgin birth account will join Adam and Eve and the story of the cosmic ascension as clearly recognized mythological elements in our faith tradition whose purpose was not to describe a literal event but to capture the transcendent dimensions of God in the earthbound words and concepts of first-century human beings.
