"This volume sustains, and more than sustains, Dr. Machen's
reputation as not only one of the world's foremost New Testament
scholars but as one of the ablest defenders of historic
Christianity. His former books, 'The Origin of Paul's Religion'
(1921), 'Christianity and Liberalism' (1923) and 'What is Faith?'
(1925), have so whetted the appetites of their thousands of readers
that the announcement of a new book by Dr. Machen fills them with
eager expectancy---whatever may be their theological position. It
will be recalled that Mr. Walter Lippmann, whose theological
position is about as far removed as possible from that of Dr.
Machen's, in his widely read book, 'A Preface to Morals', not only
speaks of Dr. Machen as 'both a scholar and a gentleman' but says
of his book, 'Christianity and Liberalism': 'It is an admirable
book. For its acumen, for its saliency, and for its wit, this cool
and stringent defense of orthodox Protestantism is, I think, the
best popular argument produced by either side in the current
controversy. We shall do well to listen to Dr. Machen.' Dr.
Machen's latest book, it is true, like 'The Origin of Paul's
Religion', moves throughout in the field of exact scholarship. It
would be difficult to point to a book anywhere that is more
thorough-going in its recital and examination of all that bears
upon the subject with which it deals. But while this is the case,
Dr. Machen writes so simply and lucidly that men and women of
intelligence everywhere, whatever their standing as technical
scholars, will be able to read it with understanding and profit.
Certainly no minister or Bible teacher of adults can afford to
ignore this book. To the reviewer at least it is a source of much
satisfaction to know that what is confessedly the most exhaustive
and most scholarly book on the problem of the Virgin Birth of
Christ ever published, at least in English, has been written by a
man who after having acquainted himself with everything of
importance that has been written on the subject since the first
century, no matter in what language, holds to the historic belief
of the Christian Church that its founder was born without human
father, being conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin
Mary." -Samuel Craig
