This book is worth reading because it affords either or both, Catholics and Protestants, to gain a correct understanding of Mary, Mother of God, Mother of the Church, The Arch of the Covenant, and other represented understandings, and come to understand their source in Scripture. Secondly in the appendix, "Biblical Theology and Marian Studies," aids us in understanding the derivation of Catholic Liturgy. Scott Hahn's appendix in this books is worth reading even if nothing is gained from the preceding chapters. ( ) This book might be interesting to Protestants, our that very rare animal, the Catholic theology nerd.For me it was tedious and wordy. It was overly technical and needlessly referenced. This book was about Mary, and answers to common misconceptions and criticisms of her in Catholic teaching. With a subject that could be so interesting and filled with such love, I was mortified to find instead the same annoying religious buzzwords and archaic speech that makes me roll my eyes at evangelicals being used to justify dogma legalistically. I was disappointed, and frankly, bored. Mary is far too interesting a person for this. no reviews | add a review
Catholic for a Reason II, Second Edition will introduce you more deeply to Mary, the Mother of God, as your mother. Nine well-known Catholics, including Scott and Kimberly Hahn, Jeff Cavins, Tim Gray, and Leon Suprenant-open the pages of God's family album (the Bible) to provide compelling explanations of Mary's role in salvation history and in our daily lives as Christians. The result is a moving tribute and convincing testimony that demolishes common misconceptions about Catholic teaching on Mary. You'll learn why the Catholic Church teaches that Mary was immaculately conceived, remained always a virgin, and was assumed body and soul into heaven. You'll understand how Mary is the fulfillment of the Old Testament images. Most of all, you'll discover what it means to be a child of Mary in the Church. This second edition has been expanded with over 40 pages of new material from Scott Hahn on the Luminous Mysteries and the biblical basis of the Marian dogmas. Authors: Scott Hahn, Curtis A. Martin, Curtis J. Mitch, Tim Gray, Edward P. Sri, Leon J. Suprenant, Kimberly Hahn, Sean Innerst, and Jeff Cavins. Foreword by Bishop James S. Sullivan.
