Ferris, W. Norman Pittenger And Many Others.
This is a new release of the original 1949 edition.
At the age of ninety, and with a mind as lively as ever, Norman
Pittenger can look back on an impressive series of books. In this,
his last, he sees Mary as a model for Christian discipleship, a
type of the church and a symbol of the world redeemed by God.
Before presenting the main substance of his view of Mary he
discusses what we may claim to know about Mary and how we know it,
going on to see her as the consenting case for what God
accomplished in the event of Jesus Christ. Then he surveys the
devotion given to her during the centuries of Christian history and
ends with comments on the practical value of mariological devotion
and an indication of what that can contribute to Christian faith in
God. He expects that conservatives will think that he is too
sceptical about history, Catholics may think what he has said
inadequate, and Protestants may regard the whole exercise as absurd
and unbiblical.Yet he is convinced that what he has to say is
important and valuable, and has written for those who appreciate
the beauty and richness of mariological devotion. Norman Pittenger
was a senior member of King's College, Cambridge.
