It is the standard \"origin story\" of Jesus, marking the incarnation of the Son of God. Today, however, many theologians dispute the tradition of the virginal conception on both historical and scientific grounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a progressive Protestant theologian--and a husband and a father--Kyle Roberts was growing unsure of his belief in Mary's virginity. It contradicted modern science, and it seemed to undermine her feminine power. So he set out to investigate the virgin birth from every angle: the Bible, history, science, and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Complicated Pregnancy\u003c\/i\u003e records his journey through the evidence and the myth. Did the Holy Spirit form Jesus as a zygote in Mary's womb? If so, where did Jesus get his male genome? Was Jesus's birth really bloodless, as the early church believed, and is Mary a \"perpetual virgin\"?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoberts's quest is a fascinating journey through history, biblical interpretation, and church politics. His conclusion surprised him, and it will surprise you, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyle Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1506406246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506406244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Kyle Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453734072575,"sku":"9781506406244","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a59743d-057d-4935-bc40-500117181c1a.jpg?v=1777301982","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-complicated-pregnancy-kyle-roberts-9781506406244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
