Synopsis
Marys Journey is an outstanding example of how the traditions of the past open up possibilities for the future. The book is attentive to the findings of current biblical scholarship about the role of Mary in each of the four Gospels to the historical context of the various Mariological doctrines, to the psychological subtleties of Marian devotions, and to the ways in which Marian liturgical celebrations nourish the human spirit. But it does not stop there. It uses this considerable sophistication to unravel the religious meaning that Mary has in the lives of believers. In Mary's Journey we are not inundated with mere information. We are treated to revelation, how the story of Mary uncovers our own relationship to God and other people. We begin to understand the persistence of the Christian poets that Mary not only bore Christ into the world long ago but also bears Christ into our hearts today.
