Mary continues to be a source of theological interest and concern for Catholics and Protestants alike. Mariology was codified in a set of dogmas over the centuries—yet many remain unaware of the biblical, historical, and theological matrix that gave rise to the magisterial teaching.
Working through biblical, patristic, and medieval sources, Aidan Nichols introduces readers to the robust scriptural and theological bases for the Church’s celebration of Mary in its doctrine and liturgy. He presents the work of the Councils and the Magisterium to argue for the crucial relevance of Mary in the theological articulation of the gospel, the celebration and practice of the liturgy, and the sacramental life of the Church. Nichols takes the path set by ressourcement theology in recovering the robust voice of witness to Mary.
