Did Christ Have Brothers and Sisters? - K J Stavrinides - December 1974

K J Stavrinides

What is meant in the Holy Scripture by "his brethren" and "his sisters"? Was Mary the mother of other sons and also daughters? NOT long ago we received a letter from a sincere inquirer requesting biblical proof on whether Christ really had brothers and sisters. "Please do not send me the views of this or that theologian; I would like definite and conclusive proof from God's Word - the Bible," he said. Let us, then, go through this matter in a detailed exegetical study, noticing exactly what the Bible does say about this common theological question. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
