The Oxford Handbook of Mary offers an interdisciplinary guide to Marian Studies, including chapters on textual, literary, and media analysis; theology; Church history; art history; studies on devotion in a variety of forms; cultural history; folk tradition; gender analysis; apparitions and apocalypticism. Featuring contributions from a distinguished group of international scholars, the Handbook looks at both Eastern and Western perspectives and
attempts to correct imbalance in previous books on Mary towards the West. The volume also considers Mary in Islam and pilgrimages shared by Christian, Muslim, and Jewish adherents.
While Mary can be a source of theological disagreement, this authoritative collection shows Mary's rich potential for inter-faith and inter-denominational dialogue and shared experience. It covers a diverse number of topics that show how Mary and Mariology are articulated within ecclesiastical contexts but also on their margins in popular devotion. Newly-commissioned essays describe some of the central ideas of Christian Marian thought, while also challenging popularly-held notions. This
invaluable reference for students and scholars illustrates the current state of play in Marian Studies as it is done across the world.

«the quality of the essays is extremely high across the volume, and the contributors are established experts on the subjects that they have engaged.»
Stephen Shoemaker, Theologische Revue
«This is an outstanding volume compiling extensive research into foundational perspectives on Mary from the New Testament to the present. The editor has gathered contributions from a team of 38 scholars into 42 chapters to document major facets of Marian studies in ecumenical perspective. ... This handbook assembles major studies of Mary to explore the biblical, historical, theological, ecumenical, and interfaith perspectives and will serve as a standard reference work in the next generation.»
