Reviews

The contention is made that at the root of the Marian cult is the poverty-created father-ineffective family, a family structure in which Oedipal desires in both sons and daughters are intensified... [A] fascinating and provocative read. -- Elizabeth A. Johnson Journal of Church and State [Recommended] not only for the wealth of information and the carefully wrought argument that it presents, but also for its potential utility in destroying or at least casting doubt on the idols that prevent us from seeing more clearly and more insightfully the bases of faith and theological conviction. -- W. W. Meissner, S.J., M.D. Theological Studies
