Mary the Second Eve (Booklet)
9780895551818 This booklet demonstrated that today’s Marian doctrines—including the doctrines of the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption—are firmly rooted in the teachings of the early Church. It shows that these teachings are based on Sacred Scripture and on the testimony of the Fathers, and therefore are not something invented later by the Church.Mary—the Second Eve consists of excerpts from Newman’s works, including his direct quotations from the Bible and the Fathers of the Church. It is full of the fresh insights and persuasive logic so typical of this holy and learned convert from Anglicanism, who later became a Cardinal.Mary—The Second Eve is also an excellent introduction to the writings of John Henry Newman.“I fully grant that devotion towards the Blessed Virgin has increased among Catholics with the progress of centuries; I do not allow that the doctrine concerning her has undergone a growth, for I believe that it has been in substance one and the same from the beginning.”--John Henry Newman (p. 1)
