Marian Veneration: Firm Foundations

The Blessed Virgin Mary is venerated by many followers of Jesus Christ as an important part of their practice of the faith. Believing that she is the Mother of God because her Son is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, who for our salvation took on human nature, Christians of both East and West honor Mary in various ways. They strive to imitate her as a great model of Christian discipleship.

Cardinal Arinze wrote this book for both those devoted to the Blessed Mother and those who do not yet know or understand her. Based on the Scriptures, the teachings of the Church, and the sacred liturgy, the cardinal provides a solid foundation for Marian veneration one that can benefit all Christians, regardless of their church affiliation.

"An extraordinary blend of rigorous scholarship and filial devotion, Marian Veneration gives all the reasons why the Virgin Mary is and always will be at the heart of Christianity. This book will serve as a reference work for generations to come."
