The Perpetual Virginity of Blessed Mary: Against Helvidius

Writings of the Doctors of the Church
Book • 2019
Written around AD 383, this work responds to Helvidius, who argued that references to Jesus' 'brethren' and 'sisters' proved Mary had subsequent children with Joseph.

Jerome asserts that Joseph was only putatively Mary's husband, the 'brethren' were cousins, and virginity surpasses marriage.

He supports perpetual virginity for both Mary and Joseph using Scripture and early Church writers.
