In Marys Bodily Assumption, Matthew Levering presents a contemporary explanation and defense of the Catholic doctrine of Marys bodily Assumption. He asks: How does the Church justify a doctrine that does not have explicit biblical or firstcentury historical evidence to support it? With the goal of exploring this question more deeply, he divides his discussion into two sections, one historical and the other systematic.Leverings historical section aims to retrieve the rich Mariological doctrine of the midtwentieth century. He introduces the development of Mariology in Catholic Magisterial documents, focusing on Pope Pius XIIs encyclical Munificentissimus Deus of 1950, in which the bodily Assumption of Mary was dogmatically defined, and two later Magisterial documents, Vatican IIs Lumen Gentium and Pope John Paul IIs Redemptoris Mater. Levering addresses the work of the neoscholastic theologians Joseph Duhr, Alos Janssens, and Rginald GarrigouLagrange before turning to the great theologians of the nouvelle thologieKarl Rahner, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Louis Bouyer, Joseph Ratzingerand their emphasis on biblical typology. Using John Henry Newman as a guide, Levering organizes his systematic section by the three pillars of the doctrine on which Marys Assumption rests: biblical typology, the Church as authoritative interpreter of divine revelation under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the fittingness of Marys Assumption in relation to the other mysteries of faith.Leverings ecumenical contribution is a significant engagement with Protestant biblical scholars and theologians; it is also a reclamation of Mariology as a central topic in Catholic theology.
