Commemoration of the Seventh Centenary of His Death The hope of this Symposium is to set in relief the importance of the mystery of Mary in understanding the thought of Bl. John Duns Scotus, a mystery so much neglected by many students of Scotus, today as in yesteryear. Without that profound veneration of the Immaculate Virgin and an appreciation of her uniqueness as the Immaculate Conception, the theology and metaphysics of Scotus will remain merely the abstruse delight of an elite academy, and Mariology will be lacking its securest instrument of reflection.

On the Mystery of the Trinity by St. Bonaventure has not received the attention it demands, but this book by Dr. J. Isaac Goff, Ph.D. changes that. He puts the work into historical context, demonstrates its engagement with Aristotle, and guides us through the deep, limpid waters of Bonaventure's resolution of philosophy and theology to the primacy of the ocean of charity found within the circumincessient Trinity.

This work originated with the desire to imitate the Blessed Mother in her loving devotion to her Son, the Word of God (cf. Lk 2:19, 51). From this, sprung a theological method and, subsequently, a biblical understanding of Our Lady and her integral role in the economy of salvation. Fiat: Biblical Mariology and Marian Consecration is not a systematic treatise on Mariology. It is, rather, a Marian approach toward Sacred Scripture. By adopting this distinctive, theological method, many facets of Mariology come into relief, most vividly in the Marian texts themselves. Certain insights appear particularly significant, inasmuch as they offer scriptural evidence for two Marian dogmas: the Immaculate Conception (see Lk 1:29) and the Perpetual Virginity of Mary (see Mt 1:20, 24).The Marian commentaries include: the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Annunciation to St. Joseph, the Presentation in the Temple, the Finding in the Temple, the Wedding Feast at Cana, and the Crucifixion. Additional commentaries are: Genesis, St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John, the Acts of the Apostles and the Pauline Epistles. Of particular, apologetic interest is the exposition on John 6, the Bread of Life Discourse.The second part of the book establishes a theology of Marian Consecration. One central, Mariological tenet is the idea that the Word assumed, at His Incarnation, not only a human nature, but also a human act: namely, the Fiat of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Consequently, not only is Our Lord's Sacred Humanity communicable to us in the Most Blessed Sacrament, but Our Lady's Fiat (her Yes to God) has also become communicable, for us, in the process of justification. Last, a praxis of Marian consecration is charted, based upon the six wings of the blessed seraphim and the virtues praised by our seraphic father, Saint Francis of Assisi.The accompanying website for this book, biblicalmariology.com offers the entire content of this book for free, as it is written: freely you have received, freely give (Mt 10:8).

If you are or wish to be a child of Mary, you will read this little book because it speaks of your Mother; you will feel a secret impulse to reread it; you will discover in it new glimpses and profound thoughts which the author himself has not suspected and which he, unassisted, would not have been able to express in words.

Some of the best minds in Mariology today have collaborated to produce this monumental anthology in honor of Our Lady and in complete fidelity to the Magisterium. Buy this book and make a present of it to your parish priest, the religious sister you know, the seminarian from your diocese, or the consecrated person or educated layperson at your parish. It’s a Mariological “must read,” especially for our priests and seminarians. –Dr. Scott Hahn Author and Professor of Theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville

A compendium of inspiring articles on Kolbe Of all the books in the Marian Saints and Shrines series, this one is the most controversial and thus the most needed in order to do justice to the Saint, whom Pope John Paul II spoke of as "the Saint of our difficult century [twentieth]." Is it true, as reported in a PBS documentary, that the Saint was anti-Semitic? What is the reason behind misrepresenting this great modern day Saint? Is a famous Mariologist right in accusing the Saint of being in error by holding that Mary is the Mediatrix of all Graces? The book has over 35 chapters by over ten authors, giving an in-depth view of one of the greatest Marian Saints of all times.
