Or what if we say that Mary was not a virgin? There are plenty of people, imcluding Christians, who deny the Virgin Birth. That simply sets aside the whole matter, does it not? We don’t have to go that far: we can say that it is simply a “myth,” which “save” high status for Jesus without the messy biological improbabilities, and preserves the “spiritual” identity of the Father. None of this Zeus-like chasing after virgins. Many more Christians, those who like the Christmas story with the cute little baby in the crib and the neat camels and wise men et al. would go along with this. But this is not what I believe: I choose the paradox of Jesus as truly man and truly God. The Virgin Birth is essential to this paradox.
