Mary: God's Yes to Man (Redemptoris Mater) (Pope John Paul II) - Paperback

Mary: God's Yes to Man is Pope John Paul II's only encyclical on our Blessed Mother. The development of traditional Marian dogma in the light of the present day bears the Pope's unmistakable personal stamp. The three parts of the encyclical ("Mary in the Mystery of Christ," "The Mother of God in the Midst of the Pilgrim Church," and "Motherly Mediation") draw predominantly from two sources: Sacred Scripture and the central documents of the Second Vatican Council. There is a particular emphasis on ecumenism. What binds all Christians to Mary becomes ever clearer: She is the model of their faith.

The book contains an introduction by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, and commentary by one of the world's leading Catholic theologians, Hans Urs von Balthasar.
