Description

The virgin birth is a much-loved story in the Christian tradition. It is the usual “origin story” of Jesus, marking the incarnation of the Son of God. Today, alternatively, many theologians dispute the tradition of the virginal conception on both historical and scientific grounds.

As a progressive Protestant theologian–and a husband and a father–Kyle Roberts Used to be growing unsure of his belief in Mary’s virginity. It contradicted modern science, and it perceived to undermine her feminine power. So he got down to investigate the virgin birth from each and every angle: the Bible, history, science, and philosophy.

A Complicated Pregnancy records his journey through the evidence and the myth. Did the Holy Spirit form Jesus as a zygote in Mary’s womb? If this is the case, where did Jesus get his male genome? Used to be Jesus’s birth in reality bloodless, as the early church believed, and is Mary a “perpetual virgin”?

Roberts’s quest is an interesting journey through history, biblical interpretation, and church politics. His conclusion surprised him, and it is going to surprise you, too.
