Shaken Creeds: The Virgin Birth Doctrine a Study of its Origin is a book written by Jocelyn Rhys that delves into the history and origins of the doctrine of the Virgin Birth.

Rhys examines the biblical texts that mention the Virgin Birth and investigates the historical context in which they were written. The author also explores the theological implications of the doctrine and how it has been interpreted by different Christian denominations. Throughout the book, Rhys challenges the traditional understanding of the Virgin Birth and provides a fresh perspective on this important Christian belief.
