Hypotheses about Mary

Years of work have led to the creation of this lively and colorful book where dogma joins anecdote, biblical exegesis with apparitions, spirituality with history, theology with mystery. Here you meet scholars, men of letters, seers and mystics, pilgrims, miracle workers, saints and sinners, inquisitors and heresiarchs, emperors and peasants. A surprising insight into an often secret world, which the author faces as a self-confessed devotee, but allergic to the sugary rhetoric of a certain devotionalism. These pages are both rigorous and informative. They are the result - as always - of the liveliness and clarity of the great journalist combined with the solidity of the up-to-date scholar with relentless documentation.
