Adhuc Virgo

"Adhuc Virgo" is a profound scholarly exploration of the perpetual virginity of Mary, analyzed through the lens of early Christian history and patristic theology. Authored by Hugo Koch, a distinguished historian of the early Church, the work provides a rigorous examination of the theological developments and debates that shaped the doctrine of Mary's status in the first centuries of Christianity. By investigating a wide array of historical documents and the writings of the Church Fathers, Koch traces the evolution of Mariological thought and its integration into the broader Christian tradition.

This study is particularly valuable for its focus on the intersection of scripture, tradition, and historical interpretation. "Adhuc Virgo" offers readers a detailed look at how foundational beliefs were formulated and defended during a period of significant doctrinal consolidation. It remains an essential text for students and scholars of religious history, theology, and the history of dogma, providing a comprehensive understanding of one of the most enduring aspects of Christian devotion. The book's historical depth and analytical precision make it a significant contribution to the field of patristic studies.
