AN AMERICAN MARIO LOGY A landmark in the history of American Mariology '1as been reached in January with the publication of the first volume of MARIOL' )GY (Bruce $6.75), a symposium of articles by outstanding American scholars wr ting in English on the history and sources of Mariology. The collection is edit.·d by Father J. B. Carol, O.F.M., founder of the Mariological Society of Ameriq The following studies are included in volume one: Eamon R. Carroll, 0. Carm.: Mary in the Documen s of the Magisterium Eric May, O.F.M.Cap.: Mary In The Old Testamer t Michael J; Gruenthaner, S.J.: Mary in the New Teslament Alfred C. Rush, C.SS.R.: Mary in the Apocrypha o: the New Testament Cuthbert Gumbinger, O.F.M.Cap.: Mary in the Ea..tern Liturgies George W. Shea: Outline History of Mariology in: the Middle Ages and Modern Times Simeon Daly, O.S.B.: Mary in the Western Liturg:• Aidan Carr, O.F.M. Conv. and Germain Williams, O.F.M:Conv.: Mary's Immaculate Conception Salvatore Bonano, O.F.M.: Mary's Immunity from #1ctual Sin Richard Kugelman, C.P.: The Holy Name Of Mar r The first volume in the series of three covers histo ·y and sources, beginning with the Old Testament and continuing into modern tir 1es. Volume two, when published, will cover Marian theology, and volume thrF ~' devotion to the Blessed Virgin. Father Carol has an international reputation as a , \arian scholar and he has called on eleven authorities in various branches of the. >logy to contribute to the first volume. MARIOLOGY is the only work of its kinJ in the English language and marks a significant step forward in American Ma· iology. It belongs in all college, university, and seminary libraries. Every reLgious and rectory library will also need it. Father Carol and the Bruce Publishing Company t~eserve the thanks of all those interested in the study of Mariology.


PROTESTAN'fS and the DIVINE MATERNITY Reports from 100 Protestant ministers to a recent questionnaire showed that 64 percent do not b€lieve in the Divine Maternity, that is, that Mary is the Mother of God. Of the remaining 36 percent, 21 ministers expressed belief in the Divine Maternity, an 15 percent were uncertain. These statistics wer• given by Father Kenneth Dougherty, S.A., of the Atonement Seminary, W .~shington, D.C., in a paper, "Contemporary American Protestant Attitudes TO\Iard the Divine Maternity," read at the sixth annual convention of the Mariological Society of America in St. Louis early in January. Father Dougherty said that the most common reason given by the ministers for denying the Divi 1e Maternity was the mistaken belief that the Catholic Church divinizes Our Lady. This charge of Mariolatry "could be corrected by a visit to any Catholic Church," he concluded. The Marian Library hopes to publish a more detailed report on Father Dougherty's study in the Marian Reprint series, and also in a future issue of . the M arianist magazine; · The January Marian Reprint was "Our Lady at Home" by Father Richard T. A. Murphy, O.P. The February Reprint (No. 32) is a study of the spiritual value of the Scapular by :!'ather Henry Esteve, 0. Carm.
