Blessed Among Women
$12.49
The Virgin Mary is the most honored and glorified saint in the Catholic Church. Catholic devotion to Mary is a worldwide phenomenon that continues to grow. Blessed Among Women takes a serious and critical look at how much devotion to the Virgin Mary is truly justified. This book also looks at how the Catholic Church views Mary’s role in God’s overall plan for our salvation and whether or not this view matches up with sacred scripture. It explores Catholic doctrines such as the Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity and Assumption of Mary. It also explores more controversial doctrines such as Mediatrix of all Graces, Queen of heaven, and the unofficial Coredemptrix doctrine. Chapter eight examines the apparitions of the Virgin Mary and their influence on Church doctrine regarding Mary. The final two chapters turn our attention towards the importance of pursuing the truth on these issues, wherever that leads. For Protestants and Catholics alike, this book is an important exploration into the controversial Church doctrines regarding the Virgin Mary. It emphasizes why it is important for all Christians to examine what the word of God says about these doctrines, knowing that if we follow God’s word, we can experience the peace and joy of knowing that we are saved.
