Pages in very good condition throughout - slight scuff mark from shelf bottom outside pages. Description: Mariology or Marion studies has always proved an attractive subject to Catholic writers. This basic lexicon of the major teachings, ideas, doctrines, and dogmas associated with the Virgin Mary from New Testament times until the present (though with a pre-Vatican II focus according to several reviews) has been revised and updated with an appendix. Summarizing a monumental amount of literature, O'Carroll endeavors to cover the whole range of Mariology beginning with the Bible, throughout church history, to modern times, offering the reader a glimpse into what the church fathers and the theologians and mystics who followed them-- from the East as well as the West-- have said over the centuries about Mary, the mother of Jesus. The entries provide both summary material as well as excerpts that, in the cases of those originally written in Greek or Latin, have been translated into English, and the endnotes which follow each entry provide helpful leads to further reading.
