ISBN: 9789004132405 / Angielski / Twarda / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Virgin Goddess: Studies in the Pagan and Christian Roots of Mariology
ISBN: 9789004136397 / Angielski / Miękka / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Stephen Benko approaches this study as both an historian and a Christian believer. Inquiring into extra-biblical sources of Marian piety, belief and doctrine, he proposes 'that there is a direct line, unbroken and clearly discernible, from the goddess-cults of the ancients to the reverence paid and eventually the cult accorded to the Virgin Mary.' Chapter by chapter he seeks to establish his conclusion that 'in Mariology the...
