Drawing upon the best modern biblical scholarship, Lawrence Cunningham, author of Saint Francis of Assisi and The Meaning of Saints, first presents the story of Mary as recounted in the Bible and the early traditions of the Church. He then sketches the devotional, artistic, and cultural traditions that have grown up around the person of Mary over the centuries. Mother of God concludes with an appraisal of the role of Mary in Christian life and her significance as a symbol of womanhood. The breathtaking contemporary photographs by Nicolas Sapieha, whose work as a photojournalist and art photographer has gained him an international reputation, include key religious celebrations in Italy, Portugal, Poland, Mexico, France, and elsewhere. These striking contemporary portraits complement the rich, varied selection of art that has honored Mary throughout the centuries. This beautiful volume also offers a remarkably insightful preface by novelist Mary Gordon, presents traditional prayers, feast days, titles, and shrines, and provides an annotated bibliography for further reading. Mother of God is a lavish account, in words and images, of the crucial role Mary plays in the consciousness of both the Church and Western civilization. It will be treasured as a resplendent book of art and welcomed as a thoughtful and inspiring celebration of a vibrant, historically fascinating, life~affirming part of our heritage.
