“With regard to your question concerning the Virgin Birth
of Jesus; on this point, as on several others, the Bahá’í teachings
are in full agreement with the doctrines of the Catholic
Church. In the Kitáb-i-Íqán (Book of Certitude) page 56, and
in a few other Tablets still unpublished, Bahá’u’lláh confirms,
however indirectly, the Catholic conception of the Virgin Birth.
Also ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in ‘Some Answered Questions’, Chap. 12,
page 73, explicitly states that Christ found existence through the
spirit of God which statement necessarily implies, when
reviewed in the light of the text, that Jesus was not the son of
Joseph.”
