Book Reviews of All Generations Shall Call Me Blessed (Proceedings of the Theology Institute of Villanova University)
Book Review: Includes Recent Perspectives on Mary
Summary: 4 Stars
This anthology edited by Eigo differs from most Catholic books on Mary. Rather than defending traditional Marian doctrines, it attempts to reinterpret Mary in the light of modern thinking. For example, the social-justice aspect of the Catholic Church is reflecting in the rethinking of Mary as one who identified with the oppressed. Feminist critiques of Mary are included, one of whose targets is the traditional view of Mary as one who was submissive and obedient.
The article by Johnson rejects the patron-petitioner model in her attempts to place Mary not between humans and God, but WITH humans in their journey through life before God. Jegen focuses on Mary in Luke-Acts, pointing out that Mary is a woman of prayer par excellence, who guides the followers of Jesus in a prayerful, discerning life of faith. Despite her simplicity and lowliness, Mary is clearly one who knew the Jewish scriptures, and the history of her people, very well.
