how it works
Simply use the form below to submit your question and we will consider your questions for the Q&A segment.
- What does it mean to say that someone was born of a virgin? It’s obvious, right? Wrong!
- Apart from Jesus, who else in the ancient world was said (literally) to have a god for his father but a mortal for his mother?
- What do our sources say about the miraculous births of famous figures — Hercules, Romulus, Alexander the Great, Apollonius of Tyana, and others?
- Were their mothers virgins? If so, what makes Jesus different? If not, why would Christians come up with the radical idea of a virgin birth?
