This book is a study of a significant nexus in contemporary
Catholic thought that has not had the attention that it deserves
and is peculiarly relevant to the turbulent conditions of the
Modern Church, especially in relation to Vatican II. It is a
portrayal of Ratzinger's discerning grasp of Vatican II Mariology
and ecclesiology as a peritus of note during the Council's
sessions. The author lucidly sets out Ratzinger's understanding of
Marian theology as key to the Church's self-understanding, which
was the primary burden of Vatican II and still of the contemporary
Church. Faithful to his hermeneutic, one of continuity in reform,
the book casts Ratzinger's appraisal of the Mary-Church relation as
receptive to a new shift in the decision not to have a separate
Council document on Mary because Mary is already the full
realisation of the Church. One of the book's strikingly novel
contributions is its depiction of the Marian dimensions to the
Church's liturgy and missionary evangelization. The author shows
that Ratzinger's thought here is both intricate and coherent and
that it discloses a profoundly unifying direction in the Council as
a whole, that has not yet been fully understood.
