Tales of the Theotokos: Mary in the Personal, Historical, Scriptural, and Spiritual Realms - Paperback

by John C. Wilhelmsson (Author)

Mary is the most misunderstood figure in the history and current practice of Christianity. This book clarifies her nature and role by looking at four perspectives. "The Personal" tells of Our Lady of Guadalupe's intercession in the short story "Twin Fates." "The Historical" looks at the origins of the Rosary and Mary's influence down through the Christian age. "The Scriptural" examines Cardinal Newman's writings on Mary's role purely in terms of the Bible. And "The Spiritual" details Mary's role as Coredemptrix and the perennial truths of the spiritual life this role points to for us all. By gathering together all of these perspectives in one book "Tales of the Theotokos" takes a fresh new look at Mary the Mother of Jesus Christ. With original photos and published in large print (check out our website at www.c2op.com).
