Book Reviews of Mary: God's Yes to Man : Pope John Paul II Encyclical Letter : Mother of the Redeemer

Book Review: Mary made accessible
Summary: 5 Stars

Pope John Paul II's love for Mary is no secret. In this encyclical he brings Mary off of the pedestal where she is often placed. In showing her human side he makes her infinitely accessible, and in explaining her relationship with Christ, he illustrates why she is deserving of great honor. The commentary by von Balthasar serves to flesh out the finer points of the encyclical, and what emerges is a useful volume both to enhance devotion to Mary, and to aid in ecumenical dialog. Ratzinger's introduction was simply icing on the cake.
