In this section you will find monographs on Mariology and other topics on the Virgin Mary and theology.
Mary, Mother of God: Devotion and Doctrine in the Visual Arts, 1450-1700 by
This volume explores images of the Mother of God in early modern devotion, piety, and power. The book is divided into four sections, the first three of which link the subjects thematically and geographically in Europe, while the last one follows Mary's legacy.
Medieval Franciscan Approaches to the Virgin Mary (Online) by
This volume offers a sample of the many ways that medieval Franciscans wrote, represented in art, and preached about the 'model of models' of the medieval religious experience, the Virgin Mary. This is an extremely valuable collection of essays that highlight the significant role the Franciscans played in developing Mariology in the Middle Ages.
Mary's Bodily Assumption by
Presents a contemporary explanation and defense of the Catholic doctrine of Mary's bodily Assumption. Levering's ecumenical contribution is a significant engagement with Protestant biblical scholars and theologians; it is also a reclamation of Mariology as a central topic in Catholic theology.
Mary, Bearer of Life by
Drawing on biblical exegesis, church history and ecumenical thinking, this book suggests how a serious understanding of Mary might influence our ethical thought, and considers some of the key theological tensions at the heart of the church's engagement with Mary.
Mary: The Church at the Source by
Two great theologians endeavor to recover the centrality of Marian doctrine and devotion for the contemporary Church, offering a spiritually rich approach to Mariology that brings into new relief the Marian contours of ecclesial faith. Ratzinger and von Balthasar show that Mary is both the embodiment of the Church, and the mother who co-operates in giving birth to the Church in the souls of believers.
A Feminist Companion to Mariology by
Twelve essays covering topics such as the understandings of the divine feminine, soteriology, and the meaning of "virginity."
Mary, Mother of the African Church by
A theological study of the Virgin Mary in the context of African society and Church through the process of inculturation.
Theologies of Guadalupe by
Discusses the way theologians have understood Our Lady of Guadalupe and her impact on the lives of her devotees since the seventeenth century.
There Is No Rose: The Mariology of the Catholic Church (Online) by
Working through the biblical, patristic, and medieval sources, Nichols introduces readers to the robust scriptural and theological bases for the Church's celebration of Mary in its doctrine and liturgy, alongside 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.
