But that statement suggests that because there is no support, the perpetual
virginity of Mary is unlikely. Whereas it could be equally said (and with
the opposite bias suggested ) there is no NT evidence AGAINST the doctrine
of Mary's perpetual virginity. So Mr. Cane's formulation: "the text is not
conclusive" seems the most accurate and neutral.
