Approaching the Assumption, 1863-1950 : Revelation, Scripture, and the Laity in the Development of a Marian Dogma
Overview
"After a brief history of the prior three Marian dogmas - Mother of God, Ever-Virgin, and the Immaculate Conception - this book narrates the major moments in the effort to obtain a dogmatic definition of the Assumption. The beginning of this "Assumptionist movement" can be dated to 1863 when Queen Isabel II of Spain petitioned the pope to declare the Assumption a dogma. Subsequently, petitionary efforts and scholarly inquiry increased and spread throughout the world. In addition to the narrative of this movement, this book gives special consideration to three vital aspects: debate over the Assumption's definability as a dogma, if and how Scripture reveals the Assumption, and the contribution of the laity on a matter of doctrine"-- Provided by publisher.
