Mary's Bodily Assumption

Discover a profound exploration of the Catholic doctrine of Mary's Bodily Assumption in Mary's Bodily Assumption by Matthew Levering. Published in 2014 by the University of Notre Dame Press, this engaging paperback spans 277 pages, offering a contemporary defense of a belief that lacks explicit biblical or first-century historical evidence. Levering thoughtfully addresses the question: How does the Church justify this significant doctrine? He expertly divides his analysis into two insightful sections—historical and systematic—allowing readers to grasp the complexities surrounding this vital aspect of Catholic theology. Ideal for those interested in doctrinal theology and the teachings of the Catholic Church, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
