		The Virgin Birth is a key doctrine of the Christian faith, and is also held to be true by most Muslims.
		The doctrine asserts that Jesus Christ was conceived in the womb of his mother, the Virgin Mary, without the participation of a human father.
		Another reason that Christians consider the virgin birth to be significant is that it shows Jesus' divine and human natures at once united, paving the way for all of humanity to be united with God.

	Virgin Birth Revisited
