Description Table of Contents Author Information Reviews

The Oxford Handbook of Mary offers an interdisciplinary guide to Marian Studies, including chapters on textual, literary, and media analysis; theology; Church history; art history; studies on devotion in a variety of forms; cultural history; folk tradition; gender analysis; apparitions and apocalypticism. Featuring contributions from a distinguished group of international scholars, the Handbook looks at both Eastern and Western perspectives and attempts to correct imbalance in previous books on Mary towards the West. The volume also considers Mary in Islam and pilgrimages shared by Christian, Muslim, and Jewish adherents. While Mary can be a source of theological disagreement, this authoritative collection shows Mary's rich potential for inter-faith and inter-denominational dialogue and shared experience. It covers a diverse number of topics that show how Mary and Mariology are articulated within ecclesiastical contexts but also on their margins in popular devotion. Newly-commissioned essays describe some of the central ideas of Christian Marian thought, while also challenging popularly-held notions. This invaluable reference for students and scholars illustrates the current state of play in Marian Studies as it is done across the world.

Chris Maunder (Senior Lecturer of Theology and Religious Studies, Senior Lecturer of Theology and Religious Studies, York St John University)

Chris Maunder is Senior Lecturer in Theology and Religious Studies at York St John University. Since completing a PhD at the University of Leeds in 1991, he has written several articles on the European apparitions of Mary. Whilst being a scholar of Catholic popular religion in his professional life, he is also passionate about Marian shrines as a personal interest, visiting them across Europe and helping to maintain his local shrine, a 15th-century rock chapel in Knaresborough, Yorkshire. His publications include Our Lady of the Nations: Apparitions of Mary in 20th-Century Catholic Europe (2016), Origins of the Cult of the Virgin Mary (2008), and Documents of the Christian Church, Fourth Edition (co-edited with Henry Bettenson; 2011).

The Handbook of Mary will no doubt serve as an enduring reference for graduate students and scholars searching for background on specific topics in Marian studies. * Brian Dunkle, S.J. Boston College School of Theology andMinistry, Religious Studies Review * This is a good handbook and undoubtedly very useful to undergraduate scholars and lay readers who wish to position their understanding of Mariology well ... There is much to commend in this volume and I am sure it will make a valuable addition to many libraries both personal and academic. * Karen O'Donnell, Ecclesiology * The Oxford Handbook of Mary will serve as an important resource for both well-versed scholars as well as those beginning to explore the field ... Its mix of both overview and niche essays makes it helpful for students and engaging for scholars. * Amy Peeler, International Journal of Systematic Theology * the quality of the essays is extremely high across the volume, and the contributors are established experts on the subjects that they have engaged. * Stephen Shoemaker, Theologische Revue * This is an outstanding volume compiling extensive research into foundational perspectives on Mary from the New Testament to the present. The editor has gathered contributions from a team of 38 scholars into 42 chapters to document major facets of Marian studies in ecumenical perspective. ... This handbook assembles major studies of Mary to explore the biblical, historical, theological, ecumenical, and interfaith perspectives and will serve as a standard reference work in the next generation. * Craig L. Nessan, Wartburg Theological Seminary *
