There Is No Rose: The Mariology of the Catholic Church Nichols Aidan Paperback

Mary continues to be a source of theological interest and concern for Catholics and Protestants alike. For Catholics, Mariology was codified in a set of dogmas over the centuries; yet many Catholics remain unaware of the biblical, historical, and theological matrix that gave rise to the magisterial teaching. Protestants, with some exceptions, remain skeptical of Marianism in Catholic theology, viewing such as intrusions upon biblical doctrine and faith or unnecessary accretions threatening of sound Christian theology. Aidan Nichols, OP, attempts to address this puzzlement of Mary.Working through the biblical, patristic, and medieval sources, Nichols introduces readers to the robust scriptural and theological bases for the Churchs celebration of Mary in its doctrine and liturgy, alongside the work of the Councils and the magisterium, to argue for the crucial relevance of Mary

Sex - Ethnographic Encounters Pevná vazba

Focusing on the unacknowledged, personal and often unconscious dimension, Sex explores the intersection between sex and ethnography.

They also examine the resulting impact on fieldwork findings and the generation of knowledge. Based on fieldwork in Germany, Denmark, Greece, the USA, Brazil, South Africa, Singapore, Turkey, Israel, Morocco, and India, the contributors go beyond the common
