In his book Mary for Today, von Balthasar describes Mary's status and relevance in the Catholic Church by gathering quotes from scripture and theological tradition. Mary is referred to in both prophecies and figures in the Old and New Testaments. Mary is a very important icon of the Catholic Church. She is regarded as one of the most important beings in the Catholic Church. She represents motherhood, marriage, faith, mercy, purity, and has been venerated for many centuries. She is known as the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the Mother of God. Mary is special because she is a human person who is chosen by God to bear his son. She represents the perfection and elevation of a human being by grace.

In my country(Thailand) have no this book for reading so i hope this book will be useful for me

I really enjoyed this book; the imagery is concise and the syntactical structure terse and uninformative, verging on obscure. However, was it really necessary to spend so long describing the 'Swallow's Testicle' of the title, and in such detail? As a 54 year old heterosexual, I have difficulty relating to such metaphors, but other than that, this book is a fine read.

One can admire the output of this leading theological writer. Over 78 entries along on Amazon.com. This book's thesis is yet another extension of the modernist mindset, that just as science as learned that truth develops and matures as it progresses, so should theology. He interestingly hypothesizes that the real turning point in history was Luther succeeding in his arugument with Erasmus over original sin. For one who doesn't confess the inerrancy of Scripture, Kung easily feels the mistake lies with the church going with Luther. That's the prevailing case in his argument, shift the paradigm to reflect where current critical scholarship is on Scripture. Interesting account, but didn't sell with this believer.

Having used the book in the course taught by Merino, I have noticed that the examples given at the end of each chapter are erroneous in nature. Many a time, I have found that the book lacks the basic elements of engineering economics. This book is definitely not for undergraduates.
