Josephology: Saint Joseph in Catholic theology: the guardian of the mystery
Josefology is the in-depth study of the life, mission, and spirituality of Saint Joseph, the virginal father of Jesus Christ and the spouse of Mary. While Mariology focuses on Mary, his mother, Josefology explores the unique role of Joseph as a paternal figure and guardian of the Mystery of the Incarnation.
