 Holy Trinity 2010, Volume XIX, Number 3

(A feature article by David Scaer) In its confrontation with early twentieth-century liberalism, Fundamentalism designated Jesus' virgin birth as one of the four necessary beliefs. Some self-styled confessional Lutherans have gone one step further in raising the hypothesis of the semper virgo, that is, Mary's perpetual virginity, near to the level of doctrine.

Table of Contents
(Introduction by Scott Murray) One Sunday in early November 1999, as I was preparing for early service at the parish I serve, I heard shouting across the street from our church. When I emerged to see what the fuss was about I was greeted by the sight of a large man with a floppy Bible draped over one hand gesticulating with the other and howling about the capitulation of the truth the “Lutherans” had just perpetrated through the “signing” of the Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification (JDDJ).
