Mary The Motherly Co Redemptrix

This book, based on lectures given at the University of Navarre, is a systematic study of the person of Mary, the mother of Jesus of Nazareth, true God and true Man and the redeemer of mankind. After introductory chapters that approach the subject from conceptual and historical angles, the book then discusses what revelation says about the woman who, in the fullness of time, bore in her womb the pre-existent Son of God. The book also includes a study of Mary's perfections as the Church believes them, written in a 'genetic' way, examining how appreciation of each perfection developed over the past two thousand years. The last chapter deals with Marian devotion. Mary, Mother of the Redeemer provides students of theology, and others interested in deepening the Christian faith, with insights into the person chosen by God to be the mother of Jesus.

This short book presents the teaching of Mary the Co-Redemptrix, describing her role, united with Christ but subject to Him, in the Redemption. The term today is surrounded by great confusion and on account of this, there exists a poor understanding of Our Lady. Not only is the subject of Co-Redemption not understood, but a vital aspect of Mary's life and vocation as Mother of God and of the Church is missed. In order to clarify this doctrine and bring others to a deep relationship with the Mother of the Church, the author explains the term, and turns to the saints from the Church's history to demonstrate the constant teaching of Co-Redemption. At the close of the work a series of topical and theological objections are presented and answered.

The New "Mary" Question Mary--Another Redeemer? explores Roman Catholic teachings about Mary from a biblical and historical perspective. Skilled and knowledgeable author James White traces how the Mary of the Bible--esteemed mother of the Lord, obedient servant and chosen vessel of God--has become the Immaculately Conceived, Bodily Assumed Queen of Heaven, viewed as Co-Mediator with Christ, and now widely recognized as Co-Redeemer by many in the Catholic Church. A calm, even-handed look at the woman the Bible calls "blessed among women"--and an invitation to single-minded devotion to God's truth.

In 1973, Sr. Agnes Sasagawa reported witnessing the Holy Eucharist emit dazzling light and surrounded by numerous worshiping angels at a Catholic convent in Akita, Japan. She then received four profound messages from the Blessed Virgin Mary. Soon after, hundreds of pilgrims observed a statue of the Blessed Virgin shed tears from 1975 until 1981. In a pastoral letter on April 22, 1984, after a 10-year investigation, Bishop John Shojiro Ito declared the mysterious events in Akita of "supernatural character".

The author offers an interpretation of Mary that is theologically sound, spiritually empowering, ethically challenging, socially liberating, and ecumenically fruitful. She construes the image of Mary so as to be a source of blessing rather than blight for women's lives in both religious and political terms.

What recent Popes have said about the Blessed Mother's role in the Church--especially her role as Mediatrix. Goes back to Pope Pius IX (1846-1878); compiled in 1969. Arranged by topic. A valuable source showing just what the Popes have said about Our Lady.

Mariology has always proved an attractive subject to Catholic writers. This fresh and lively study of Our Lady by one of the leading modern theologians speaks in every way to the condition of our time -- theologically, ecumenically, psychologically, humanly, historically. Recent Scripture scholarship is used to intensify and make more real our grasp of Mary in her Jewish and Old Testament setting: the theology of the Redemption enhances Mary's glory by emphasizing its total dependence on that of Christ; a sensitive and humane psychology analyzes th significance and clarifies the value of popular Marian devotion and the visions of Our Lady in modern times.
