Of Christ's Nativity
After considering Christ's conception, we must treat of His nativity. First, as to the nativity itself; secondly, as to His manifestation after birth.Concerning the first there are eight points of inquiry:(1) Whether nativity regards the nature or the person?(2) Whether another, besides His eternal, birth should be attributed to Christ?(3) Whether the Blessed Virgin is His Mother in respect of His temporal birth?(4) Whether she ought to be called the Mother of God?(5) Whether Christ is the Son of God the Father and of the Virgin Mother in respect of two filiations?(6) Of the mode of the Nativity;(7) Of its place;(8) Of the time of the Nativity.
