Cold War Mary
One hardly known but fascinating aspect of the Cold War was the use of the holy Virgin Mary as a warrior against atheist ideologies. After the Second World War, there was a remarkable rise in the West of religiously inflected rhetoric against what was characterised as “godless communism”. The leaders of the Roman Catholic Church not only urged their followers to resist socialism, but along with many prominent Catholic laity and activist movements they marshaled the support of Catholics into a spiritual holy war. In this book renowned experts address a variety of grassroots and Church initiatives related to Marian politics, the hausse of Marian apparitions during the Cold War period, and the present-day revival of Marian devotional culture. By identifying and analysing the militant side of Mary in the Cold War context on a global scale for the first time, Cold War Mary will attract readers interested in religious history, history of the Cold War, and twentieth-century international history.
Folklore and Literature
Explores how modern folklore, through its preservation of ballads and folktales, supplements our understanding of the oral tradition and enhances our knowledge of early literature.
The Apocryphal Gospels of Mary in Anglo-Saxon England

A Gospel Contrary!
One of the foremost and widely recognized Roman Catholic apologists, Patrick Madrid, published Answer Me This! “to provide factual, convincing answers to people’s questions about Catholicism.” Upon inspection, we find his answers to be neither factual nor convincing. What Madrid has demonstrated for us, rather, is the typical approach of a Roman Catholic apologist: to overwhelm the ignorant and the naïve with sweeping claims, historical glosses and logical leaps that crumble under even modest scrutiny. When subjected to sober investigation, the Roman religion is exposed as the novelty it clearly is. Throughout his arguments, Madrid criticizes the inquirer for not being familiar with Scripture and history. Yet, it is Madrid who is ignorant—misreading and misunderstanding the source material, overplaying his hand and outrunning his coverage at every turn.
