Aiparthenos | Ever-Virgin? Understanding The Orthodox Catholic Doctrine Of The Perpetual Virginity Of Mary, The Mother Of Jesus, And The Identity Of James And The Brothers And Sisters Of The Lord

AIPARTHENOS EVER-VIRGIN? Understanding the Orthodox Catholic Doctrine of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Identity of James and the Brothers and Sisters of the Lord offers a comprehensive, scholarly, yet easy to read treatment of the issue of Mary's perpetual virginity and of the identity of the "brothers and sisters" of Jesus. Leaving no stone unturned, Pr Cleenewerck explores the three main positions (Epiphanian, Helvidian, Hieronymian), from an Epiphanian/Orthodox perspective. In doing so, he discusses the major arguments brought forth by apologists and scholars on all sides and concludes in favor of the historic belief of Mary's perpetual virginity. This book will be of particular interest to Evangelical Christians seeking to better understand the Orthodox Catholic position, as well as all Christians wishing to obtain a comprehensive reference on this still-controversial issue.
