Mariology: A Dogmatic Treatise on the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God:With an Appendix on the Worship of the Saints, Relics, and Images

by Joseph Pohle, Arthur Preuss (Editor)

Overview

191 Pages. Complete and Unabridged.

From the INTRODUCTION

Mariology is that part of Dogmatic Theology which treats of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Divine Redeemer.

Mariology is closely related to both Christology and Soteriology. Mary is truly Deipara because Christ is truly Godman. As His mother she is the mother of our Redeemer, and thus intimately bound up with the atonement.

The chief prerogative of the Blessed Virgin is her divine motherhood. From it flow all her other prerogatives. Hence Mariology naturally falls into two main divisions: (1) The divine motherhood of Mary considered as the source of all her prerogatives, and (2) These prerogatives considered in themselves.

About the Author

Joseph Pohle (1852-1922) studied in Trier, Rome, and was ordained as a priest in 1878. He served as a professor in Baar, Switzerland from 1881 to 1883, as professor at St. Joseph's College in Leeds, England from 1883 to 1886, and as professor of philosophy in Fulda from 1886 to 1889.

In 1889, at the request of Bp. John J. Keane, Pohle joined the faculty of the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., as professor of apologetics. In the United States his name came to be linked with the German-American party in the Cahensly dispute. This may have prompted his acceptance of an offer to return to Germany in 1894 as professor of dogma at Münster. After transferring to Breslau in 1897, he continued to occupy himself with various scholarly pursuits until his death. Among his works were Angelo Secchi (1883), Die Sternenwelten und ihre Bewohner (1884), Lehrbuch der Dogmatik (1902–05), and Soldatentod und Martyrertod (1917). He collaborated on several other books and contributed to various learned journals. He also wrote 21 articles for the Catholic Encyclopedia.
