Josephology is the theological study of Joseph, the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus. Records of devotions to Joseph go back to the year 800 and Doctors of the Church since Thomas Aquinas have written on the subject.[1] With the growth of Mariology, the theological study of Joseph also grew and in the 1950s specific centers for it were formed.[2] The modern study of the theology concerning Joseph is one of the newest theological disciplines.[3]
