This book is an original study of the Marian discourses of Joseph
Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) who is recognised as a major modern
theologian within and without the Catholic Church. It evinces
Ratzinger's ability to open new horizons in inherited teaching and
new ways of understanding it within the parameters of orthodox
theology. This is especially true of his theological understanding
of Mary and the relationship of her being to that of the Church.
The author gives a succinct introduction to this Mariology,
navigating through biblical theology, Patristics, history of dogma,
Christian anthropology, and some contemporary developments in
Marian studies. By highlighting the devotional and pastoral
implications of Marian spirituality in the Church, Ratzinger is
further portrayed as a faithful theologian and conserver of the
truth of Christian worship (lex credendi, lex orandi). Undoubtedly,
Ratzinger is a renowned theologian, but the scholarly nature of
this text convincingly presents him as a sound and outstanding
Mariologist. This book is the fi rst to offer a fascinatingly
comprehensive and intelligible account of this subject by drawing
together, for the fi rst time, passages from a very wide range of
Ratzinger's writings.
