Hail, Holy Queen: The Mother of God in the Word of God by Scott Hahn
3.0
I have more questions than answers after reading this book. I wasn't fully convinced of a lot of things he said, but I was convinced of how important it is for Protestants to reclaim a proper understanding of Mary. How it is important for Protestants to affirm that she is truly blessed above many others. How important it is for Christians together to affirm the place Mary has in our lives, and how she is also an important "guide" in our faith, in the sense that our answer should be as hers, "I am the Lord's servant. May everything you have said about me come true." (Lk 1:38).
As a Christian not from the Catholic tribe of our faith, I wasn't fully convinced of the arguments, though they were interesting. And I did find that though I may not agree with Marian devotion (the word devotion to be understood from a Catholic perspective) it doesn't mean that Marian devotion has not led others to a deeper relationship with Christ. For that I rejoice. But I agree that ALL Christians, need to understand how to properly revere Mary within our Scripture reading.
I also did find that the book was more Christ-centered than Marian centered at times, which made me agree with certain parts of the book.
