5.0 out of 5 stars Great Overview of Authentic Marian beliefs!, March 14, 2000

By	D. M. Childs "ignatiusdmc" (Central Ohio) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent primer on the subject of Marian Doctrine and Devotion. Takes each of the centrally held Church teachings on Mary and gives supporting references from Scripture, Papal Encyclicals, Sayings of the Early Church Fathers, and other Magisterial documents. Puts all the Marian dogmas in perspective. Easy to read. Explains commonly misunderstood notions of what Marian Devotion is. One section answers the most common and prevalent objections to what the Church teaches about Mary from non-Catholics. Concise yet comprehensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars A short but comprehensive exploration of Marian Doctrine, December 29, 2008

By	CDS "C" (Boston,MA) - See all my reviews

The Catholic position on the virgin Mary is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. In this book Dr. Miravalle aims to rectify this. He answers many arguments that people pose against having even the merest devotion to Mary, and he draws deeply from scripture and tradition to explain the importance of such devotion.
If anything this book might be faulted for being a little repetitious. The ten questions answered at the end, are mostly a summation of the preceding chapters. However, this should not detract greatly from the value of this book.
