In this brilliantly argued and deeply moving work, renowned Anglican Priest and scholar J. G. H. Barry defends Roman Catholic doctrines regarding the Blessed Mother’s Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Bodily Assumption, Coronation in Heaven, and Christ’s gift to us all from the cross of Mary’s personal and eternal Motherhood. Along the way, he builds powerful cases for the Catholic view of Jesus, of the beauty and necessity of the Sacraments, of the reality of the Communion of Saints and more. Includes 57 full color illustrations and a 36 page appendix “Religion - An Autobiographical Sketch” to be found in no other edition of this work. With the 21st Century Anglican Communion in a state of schism, and literally hundreds of congregations in the US alone returning en masse to the Roman Catholic Church, this 20th Century theological masterpiece shines a timely and much-needed light of faith and reason on the non-negotiable truths undergirding our one true Universal Church.
