I am Mary, I am Woman

I am Mary, I am Woman written by Dr Caroline Renehan, Head of Religious Studies and Religious Education in St Patrick's College, was launched in the College on 2 February 2011 by James Mackey, Thomas Chalmers Professor Emeritus Edinburgh University. The book is published by The Columba Press, Dublin.

In launching the book, Prof Mackey spoke of the nature of the relationship between Marian theology and Christian feminist anthropology. The book details the debate and the significance for future work in these two traditionally held disparate fields of learning. Prof Mackey described the work as ‘masterful’ and offered a learned, detailed critique strongly advising a follow up publication in the same genre.
