In what remains a widely discussed issue in contemporary theology,
J. Gresham Machen's The Virgin Birth of Christ acts as both an
introduction to the subject, and a window into American 'Princeton'
theology in the early twentieth century. Machen undertakes an
encyclopaedic study of the different perspectives on the virgin
birth. He begins with a close reading of the scriptural accounts,
comparing and contrasting the stories of Jesus' birth told in Luke
and Matthew. Secular historical accounts are then considered, as
well as possible alternative theories, including the likelihood of
the story being of early Jewish or Pagan origin. Machen's study was
the definitive work on the virgin birth for the majority of the
twentieth century, and remains an invaluable resource, both as an
apologetic work and as a time capsule of theological progress.
