Conceived by the Holy Spirit: The Virgin Birth in Scripture and Theology

The New Testament clearly teaches that Jesus was miraculously conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of a Jewish virgin named Mary.

This doctrine is often dismissed by modern scholars, who, at best, see it is a misunderstood parable, and at worst see it as a fabrication on the part of the biblical evangelists. However, for orthodox Christians around the world, this doctrine is integrally linked to our understanding of God, his Word, and the incarnation of Jesus.

In Conceived by the Holy Spirit: The Virgin Birth in Scripture and Theology, Rhyne Putman defends the authenticity and significance of the virgin birth of Christ through a meticulous examination of biblical texts and historical context. He addresses both traditional and contemporary objections to the doctrine of the virgin birth, providing robust answers rooted in Scripture and reason.

The virgin birth transcends mere parable; it stands as a testament to the profound union of God and humanity. In this work, Rhyne Putman demonstrates not only the truth of the virgin birth, but also its necessity for orthodox theology and its implications for Christian life.
