The greatest challenge to ecumenical dialogue has come not from discussion on justification by faith or papal primacy or even infallibility, but from discussions related to the Virgin Mary. In this five-part investigation of the significance of Mary--not just in Christian faiths, but to Jews and Muslims as well--Tavard gathers insights from Scripture, the Reformation, the Modern Age, Tradition, and World Religions.

An Exciting Overview of the Virgin,
By Eric Maroney (Trumansburg, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Thousand Faces of the Virgin Mary (Zacchaeus Studies: Theology) (Paperback)
Tavard takes us on an extended tour of Mary, the mother of Jesus, through her various incarnations in this thoughtful and well researched survey. Her Christian, Jewish, Islamic, and pagan guises are outlined, and her modern incarnations and appearances, although denigrated by Tavard, are treated with respect and some measure of equanimity. If you want to learn the essential themes of Mariology through the ages, this is a work that cannot be overlooked.
