The Historical Evidence for the Virgin Birth by Vincent Taylor
"The Historical Evidence for the Virgin Birth" by Vincent Taylor is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. This work presents a detailed literary and critical examination of the historical evidence surrounding the concept of the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, particularly scrutinizing New Testament writings. The author seeks to analyze earliest Christian traditions regarding the Virgin Birth and address the complexities and implications surrounding the doctrine. At the start
of the text, the author outlines the purpose of the book, emphasizing an impartial approach focused on critical analysis rather than advocacy for a particular viewpoint. The preface sets a tone of academic inquiry, stating that the text will explore references to the Virgin Birth in New Testament writings outside of the First and Third Gospels, with particular attention to the silence of certain passages regarding the doctrine. Taylor highlights the challenges of addressing such a controversial topic, noting that contradictory interpretations exist, and lays the groundwork for a rigorous exploration of available evidence. The initial chapters will delve into various New Testament authors, including St. Paul, and assess their references—or lack thereof—to the Virgin Birth doctrine.
