Biblical typology
Psychological interpretation
The virgin birth has nothing to do with physical virginity or a physical Christ - to read it so is the blasphemy. Mary is never a physical virgin; every man and every woman in the world is that virgin, and the second son does not come from the womb of a woman. The one born of flesh is Cain, Ishmael, Esau, John the Baptist; the one born from above comes from the man himself, who is therefore both the virgin that conceives and the father that sires.
