From the back:
"Mary, one of the most honored and mysterious women of all time, has always held a special place in Anglo-Catholic Christianity. Indeed, interest in and devotion to the Mother of God have heightened in recent years, as evidenced by the recently concluded Marian Year.
In a work that Columbia magazine calls "illuminating, consoling, and challenging" Fatehr Pennington explores the mystique surrounding Mary, to discover who she is and how she influences our lives. He delves into Scripture, the documents of Vatican 2, information from recent apparitions and "private" revelations, and the work of past and present theologians in this enlightening and contemporary work. The result is a book that will be welcomed by believers and inquirers of Mary and her remarkable heritage."
