{"product_id":"our-lady-of-guadalupe","title":"Our Lady of Guadalupe","description":"Devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe has evolved for nearly five centuries into a deeply rooted, multifaceted tradition. Guadalupan studies, however, have tended to focus on the origins of her cult rather than the evolution of Guadalupan devotion and theologies. Our Lady of Guadalupe breaks new ground by exploring the origins of the Guadalupe tradition, the history of Guadalupan devotion, and past and present theological reflections on Guadalupe. In tracing the development of the Guadalupe tradition over half a millennium, as well as its origins. meaning, and significance for today, this volume illuminates the most consequential expression of faith indigenous to Christianity in the Americas.\n“In this impressive book, Timothy Matovina invites his readers on a journey through history, from the early development of the Guadalupe tradition to a timely discussion of her capacious meaning in the hearts and minds of people today. Born out of scholarly interest and personal devotion, every page honors Guadalupe’s vital tradition.”\n—Nancy Pineda-Madrid, past president, Catholic Theological Society of America\n“At last, we have a one-volume work on La Morenita for the theologian, pastoral agent, and historian! Drawing from older and more recent historical documentation, it nonetheless does not ignore the centuries-old living faith of the people. This beautifully researched collection provides a much-needed resource, one which provides a vivid embodiment of compassion and hope, key elements for spreading the Good News in the 21st century.”\n—Eduardo C. Fernández, SJ, Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University\n“Timothy Matovina combines the historian’s methodology with a deep knowledge of the social, pastoral, and theological contexts of the Guadalupan devotion. He has produced a remarkably well-researched and balanced presentation that is a delight to read and successfully navigates many complex issues in the development of the tradition. Coming in anticipation of the apparitions’ Fifth Centenary in 2031, this impressive work is arguably the finest up-to-date and comprehensive review available in any language and will serve to moderate old and new efforts to bend the tradition in favor of interpretations not warranted by the historical evidence.”\n—Allan Figueroa Deck, SJ, Scholar-in-Residence, Loyola Marymount University\u003cspan style=\"display: none;\"\u003eTimothy Matovina\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48980664549494,"sku":"NV603862n0nn1nWWW","price":43.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1075\/8404\/files\/NV603862.png?v=1791548077","url":"https:\/\/en.novalis.ca\/products\/our-lady-of-guadalupe","provider":"en-novalis","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
