Let It Be

I am very excited for all I will learn in this course about Our Blessed Mother. In the words of Paul McCartney, "When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me. Speaking words of wisdom, Let it Be." Mary has been there for me in times of trial, and I hope to grow in my relationship with her through this course.

About this course

More holy than any other saint but still herself a creature of God, no figure of Christian devotion other than Christ has inspired as much piety or excited as much controversy as Mary, the Virgin Mother of God. In this course, we will study the development of the Virgin’s image and cult from her descriptions in the Gospels through the modern papal definitions of Marian dogma so as to come to some understanding how and why this woman “about whom the Gospels say so little” has become a figure of such popular and theological significance. We will consider both the late antique origins and medieval flowering of her cult as well as its dismantling, transformation, transmission, and reinvention in the centuries since.
