A good resource for learning more about the Assumption.......


The parade of paintings continues.......

...........is On the Dormition of Mary: Early Patristic Homilies, edited by Brian E. Daley, S.J. of the Notre Dame theology dept. Featuring both accounts of the Assumption and more theological homilies, the inexpensive volume contains work by John of Thessalonica, St. Andrew of Crete, St. Germanus, St. John Damascene, and others. As I've said before, Daley is a superb teacher, a superb scholar, and a superb Jesuit, and is also very much involved in Orthodox-Catholic ecumenical relations. He is a great asset to Notre Dame, and is book a great asset to any theological library.
