From the back:
"The Catholic Church is presently experiencing a dramatically rekindled devotion to the Virgin Mary. Thanks to the wide acceptance of the reputed daily appareition of Mary in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, Mariology is once again in the newspaper headlines.
Authors Elliot Miller and Ken Samples explain why Protestants consider the Catholic Mary to be unhistorical and unbiblical. If divisive issues such as these are not openly addressed, dialogue and communion between Catholics and Protestants will inevitably reach an impasse.
Ken Samples has researched the many apparitions of Mary. He has unearthed much fascinating material in Yugoslovia, where he studied the Medjugorje appearances firsthand. Elliot Miller considers the doctrinal issues. Clearly and concisely, he analyzes the various dimansions of Mariology.
Here is a book that both Protestants and evangelical Catholics will find intriguing, sobering and deserving of careful scrutiny."
