The Catholic church under Pope John Paul 11 is presently experiencing a dramatically rekindled devotion to the Virgin Mary. Thanks to the wide acceptance of the reputed daily apparition of Mary in Medjugorje, Yugoslavia, Mariology is once again in the newspaper headlines.

Authors Elliot Miller and Ken Samples explain why Protestants consider the Catholic Mary to be un- historical and unbiblical. If divisive issues such as these are not openly addressed, dialogue and communion between Catholics and Protestants will inevitably reach an impasse.

Ken Samples has researched the many apparitions of Mary. He has unearthed much fascinating mate- rial in Yugoslavia, where he studied the Medjugorje appearances firsthand. Elliot Miller considers the doctrinal issues. Clearly and concisely, he analyzes the various dimensions of Mariology.

Here is a book that both Protestants and evangel- ical Catholics will find intriguing, sobering, and deserving of careful study.
