Quote:Neither Mark not Paul, nor any of the other writers of the New Testament letters, know of Jesus's birth to a virgin; in fact, they show no awareness of his nativity at all. Though collectively all are earlier writers than Matthew and Luke, they evidently know least about his birth. Perhaps even more surprising, the authors of John, though certainly aware of the birth tales presented by Matthew and Luke, have passed over those stories as unworthy of a mention in their own gospel. But for all that, the pretty tale of miraculous birth and fulfillment of ancient prophecy has delighted and enthused generations of Christians who, with the faith of simpletons, are able to weather the harsh storm of rationality and objectivity with a halfwit's beaming smile. Hey, it's Christmas.
Fixed that for them.
