Recensioner i media

Building on the work of Marian scholars like Pelikan, Tavard, and Warner, Shabliy presents experts who expand our knowledge of images of Mary in world literature and art to include Russia, China, Japan, and Central America. These essays bring to life world-wide images of the Virgin Mary as both dolorosa (sorrowful) and speciosa (beautiful) mother.
