God with us -- Emmanuel -- is the title given to Jesus that we celebrate as we approach Christmas. But in what way did Emmanuel come to us?
Of all methods, Emmanuel, or God with us, transpired through a virgin who was betrothed to her husband. But, what did betrothal mean in Ancient Judaism and how does that parallel or differ from our idea of marriage today.
Also, what does the prophesy of Isaiah about a virgin have to tell us about the appearance of Gabriel to Mary and how Matthew, the evangelist, interprets this prophesy?
