What Are They Saying About Mary? is a thorough and completely up-to-date survey of the new interpretations of Mary that have emerged in recent theology. Marian theology and devotion have undergone profound changes in the Church since Vatican II.

Has the ecumenical movement affected Mariology? This book seeks to answer these questions and others about contemporary Mariology. The author gives a methodical presentation of the insights of recent scholarship, beginning with the rich, new developments of biblical research and its influence upon the rethinking of each of the titles and roles of Mary in doctrinal theology. The biblical and doctrinal discussion addresses ecumenical issues, so that Mariology is seen as the mirror of all the central ecumenical concerns. The author concludes his book by showing the implications concerns. The author concludes his book by showing the implications of a renewed Mariology for devotion, and by indicating new directions for Mariology in the role of the Spirit, the role of women, and the role of social justice in today's Church.
