Book Reviews of The Life of the Virgin Mary, the Theotokos
Book Review: Insightful and beautifully written
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are wondering who Mary really is and why she is referred to with so much reverence in the Eastern Churches, then this book is for you. This book is very detailed and well written in plain english. The book explores the known history of the Theotokos (and her parents Joachim and Anna), and cites numerous hymns, quotes, and passages about her life from the early fathers. It amazes me that so much IS known that is beyond the scope of the New Testament.
There isn't any "politic-ing" in this book. It presents the facts in a historical manner and teaches the reader about the unique life of the Virgin Mary and how, despite being totally human, she became known as the Theotokos and the truly amazing implications of such a title.
This book is worth every penny.
