To understand the cult of the Virgin Mary is to understand the
Christian religion. The Virgin Mary is a ubiquitous but enigmatic
presence in Christian history and culture. The tradition about Mary
forms a vast and multi-layered aspect of Western history, culture
and spirituality. It is not just in the Catholic tradition that
Mary has become a particular focus of study and interest. Mary has
also become a crucial interest for Christians outside this
tradition (Protestant, Anglican) as a path to ecumenical
understanding. This book is intended as a reference book for the
student or scholar seeking knowledge of the history and
contemporary practice of the cult of the Virgin Mary. It provides
new essays which give overviews of particular areas of study - both
historical and thematic - together with texts from primary sources
and important scholarly articles, some of which appear in English
for the first time. The volume is designed to be suitable for use
as a course book at undergraduate and Masters levels. The result is
astonishing and will open up whole new avenues for theological and
spiritual enquiry. "The Virgin Mary": A resource book for study
will be essential for anyone who has a strong theological or
devotional interest in Mary. But it will open the eyes of those who
do not.
