I'm taking advantage of being in North America to finally enter some Goodreads giveaways. Sincerely apologise for flooding your homepage with my updates. Hopefully it's worth it!

Very helpful chapter on the origination of Marian doctrines and lay celibacy.
"Catholic theology den[ies] that Mary’s maternal role detracts from or minimizes the unique mediatorial role of Christ." Interesting. In the Philippines it is evident that Mary is (I'd go as far to say) more venerated than Jesus - simply looking at the sheer number of Mary statues in my neighbourhood attests to this.

Started this last year in e-book format and found it too fiddly to constantly reference back to the appendix and scripture reading timeline. Glad to have come across this super beautiful leather bound edition, which is a joy to flip through!

Not sure why I didn't realise this is Ressa's biography... It feels a bit like she's rambling at the moment - I think because I'm impatiently waiting for answers to the book's title. Hopefully it will pick up!

SLOWLY BUT SURELY... Some really intriguing and informative chapters on the Catholic view of Christ's incarnation, original sin, and the Virgin Mary. The evangelical assessment at the end of each chapter also covers a range of evangelical viewpoints.

even more slowly but surely...
