Description

---

Grace is Not Faceless traces the trajectories of Ann Loades’ distinctive contribution to Anglican Marian theology—for example, her emphasis on Mary in art, her attention to the iconology of the Rabullah Gospels, and the key she finds to approaching the mother of Jesus in Cornelius Ernst, OP’s turn of phrase, “grace is not faceless.” The book also adds new material by Ann herself, as well as responses to her Marian work. Introductory material further helps make accessible this important Anglican theologian’s Marian theology for the wide audience it deserves.
