Download or read book A Virgin Conceived written by Mary F. Foskett and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2002-06-25 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The virginity of Mary has been an influential tenet of Christian belief, a catalyst for Marian devotion, and a foundation for the construction of female Christian piety and practice. In contrast to previous biblical interpreters who have drawn on either linguistic or historical evidence to ponder whether Mary the parthenos is indeed a "virgin," in this study Mary F. Foskett takes a different course. Rather than investigating the meaning and implications of the Virgin as a reified symbol, A Virgin Conceived examines the portrayal of Mary as a virgin in two important early Christian narratives: the canonical Luke-Acts and the second-century Protevangelium of James. Foskett explores the multiple meanings and images that parthenos and virginity display in two sources and describes how they exploit this range of possible meanings in their representations of Mary. Her study departs from earlier biblical interpretation by emphasizing neither the ambiguity of the term parthenos nor the history of tradition concerning Mary. Instead, it displays the multiple meanings of "virginity" and their implications for understanding representations of the Virgin Mary.

Download or read book Miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary written by William (of Malmesbury) and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2015 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Miracles of the Virgin Mary', written c. 1135 by the Benedictine monk and historian William of Malmesbury (d. 1143), is important on several counts. It belongs to the first wave of collected miracles of the Virgin, produced by English Benedictine monks in the 1120s and '30s. These collections were to be influential across Europe because the stories in them were not connected with a particular shrine, but international. Although only two copies of William's collection survive in anything like its complete and original plan, in a dismembered form it too was influential across Europe and through the rest of the medieval period.

(“True Devotion to Mary” Series – Book 6)In his “True Devotion to Mary”, St. Louis-Marie de Montfort wrote: “The formation and the education of the great Saints who shall come at the end of the world are reserved for (Mary),” and, “I have said that this would come to pass particularly at the end of the world, and indeed presently, because the Most High with His holy Mother has to form for Himself great Saints, who shall surpass most of the other Saints in sanctity, as much as the cedars of Lebanon outgrow the little shrubs” [#47]. This timely, newly-translated book, the sixth in this series on the Marian spirituality of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort, is the only one of its kind devoted to explaining this teaching of the Saint.

Someday I'll have to tell you Montfortians how I discovered De Montfort's “Treatise on True Devotion to Mary”, and how often I had to reread it to understand it.” Try this book series, the only one available on St. Louis-Marie's Marian spirituality, and save yourself some time.The first five books in this series on the “True Devotion to Mary” are "The Holy Slavery of the Admirable Mother of God", "Consecration to the Blessed Virgin according to St. Louis de Montfort", "Preparation for Consecration to the Most Blessed Virgin", "To Jesus through Mary", and "Preparation for Holy Communion with Mary in the Spirit of Blessed de Montfort".
