Perpetual Virginity Of Blessed Mary

Perpetual Virginity of Blessed Mary

by Saint Jerome

This book, written by Saint Jerome, addresses the debate surrounding the perpetual virginity of the Virgin Mary. It refutes the arguments of Helvidius, who claimed that Mary had other children with Joseph, by presenting three main propositions: Joseph was only a legal husband, not a true one; the 'brethren' of Christ were actually his cousins; and virginity is a superior state to marriage. The work delves into Scriptural interpretation, theological arguments, and the role of women in early Christianity, showcasing Jerome's understanding of the Virgin Mary's unique role as the Mother of God.
