Madonna:Mary in the Catholic Tradition

Very informative. A bit more like a textbook than I expected. I was looking more for a good read.

Helped this Protestant greatly!

Jelly's work is both readable and well researched. While it is written for a Catholic audience, it helped this Protestant understand the Marian dogmas for better than I did before.

Madonna: Mary in the Catholic Tradition

Excellent book. Starting with the Old Testament, through the New Testament, through Patristic, medieval texts the author provides a faith-filled and reasonable account of how Mary has been viewed in the Catholic Tradition. A pleasure to read. I recommend it highly.
