"""The third volume is appropriately a step back from the more general treatments of Mary in the Franciscan tradition in the prior two volumes to the founding Mariology of Francis and Clare. The essays in this volume are as concentrated as they are luminous. They can be read with profit not only by those interested in the history of Franciscan thought, but theologians of all stripes interested in the necessary renewal of Mariology in the post-Vatican II Catholic Church."" --Cyril O'Regan, professor of theology, University of Notre Dame ""In these superb and brilliant studies, Fr. Peter Fehlner proves himself to be the architect of a wholesale renewal of Christian theology through a renewal of Marian theology. The mystery of Mary, Mother of God, leads one to a metaphysics which, far from abstracting for the concrete specificity of incarnation and revelation, guarantees its primacy. We can almost see St. Francis, building the first creche scene, as the ultimate inspiration of this truly magnificent work."" --John C. Cavadini, professor of theology, University of Notre Dame"
