Book Reviews of Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church: Documents on the Blessed Virgin Mary (Ecclesial Classics)
Book Review: A very welcome collection
Summary: 5 Stars
"Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church: Documents on the Blessed Virgin Mary" from Pauline Books & Media is, indeed, a very welcome collection. This work of general editor Sr. Marianne Lorraine Trouve,FSP, and featuring introductions for each of the Marian pronouncements by M. Jean Fisk, S.T.L., brings together all of the most important papal documents on the Blessed Virgin Mary over a period of 140 years, from the defining of Her Immaculate Conception by Blessed Pope Pius IX in 1854, to Pope John Paul II's letter "Tertio Millenio Adveniente" in 1994. Also included is chapter eight from the Vatican II Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, "Lumen Gentium," which properly set the Church's teachings on Mary in context with what the Fathers of the Council taught on the Church in total. Having all these important statements on Mary together in one book makes this volume a God-send for believers, theologians and scholars alike.
As we approach the 29th anniversary of the passing of the unforgettable Pontiff Paul VI, it is particularly pleasing to see so many of that Pope's Marian writings included. It is very difficult to find any of Paul VI's teachings on any subject available these days. He is all but forgotten in many scholarly circles in recent decades. Many of his letters and pronouncements on Mary, such as "Marialis Cultis" and "Guadete in Domino" have not been in print for many years. Any copies are virtually impossible to find, as are many of his other important works, especially the encyclical "Populorum Progressio," reviewed so favorably here on Amazon.com.
"Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church" is an important and invaluable resource on the Church's teachings on the Ever Virgin Mother God, Mary of Nazareth. Having this volume in your library will allow you to know and love Mary as the Church has come to know and love her- as the Mother of God and our Mother.
