Semper Virgo? A Biblical Review of a Debated Dogma
The traditional and still widespread dogma that Mary remained a virgin both before and after Jesus's birth is today widely believed explicitly to contradict the New Testament, which appears to speak unambiguously of Jesus having "brothers and sisters." If held strongly, this view can...
