[32.] For a defence of the virgin birth, cf.
Keith Ward, "Evidence for the Virgin Birth" in Gillian Ryeland (ed.),
Beyond Reasonable Doubt: Evidence for God in the 1990's,
(The Canterbury Press Norwich, 1991). Contra Dawkins, Ward argues:
"it is not plausible to suggest that the whole story arose out of
a mistranslation from an ancient Hebrew text - as though Matthew
found the text, mistranslated it, and then made up a whole set of
stories to make his own mistranslation come true. It is vastly more
probable that, believing in the virgin birth, Matthew looked through
the Old Testament for revealing passages, found this one and translated
it as "virgin" - which it could sometimes mean, anyway - to bring
out the predestined nature of Jesus' life and mission." (p. 57.)
Ward also argues that "The strongest argument for the veracity of
these accounts is that it is very hard to see why they should have
been invented, when they would be so shocking to Jewish ears," (p.
56) and that "there are two independent sources for the virgin birth
stories; and that increases the probability that they were founded
on historical recollections." (p. 57)
