Mary And The Fathers Of The Church by Luigi Gambero
The Blessed Virgin Mary in Patristic Thought
A scholarly survey of early Christian writers that traces how the Fathers of the Church understood and portrayed Mary, arguing that central Marian beliefs—such as her role as Theotokos, perpetual virginity, and special holiness—have roots in patristic thought. Through close readings of patristic texts, historical context, and theological analysis, the work assesses the development of Marian doctrine and devotion, addresses claims that later medieval formulations were innovations, and seeks to demonstrate continuity between the patristic tradition and later Catholic teaching.
