Attempts of Ecumenical Approach to Mary

This Bachelor's thesis Attempts of ecumenical approaches towards Mary is focusing on approaching three different attempts to speak of Mary in an historically chronological order and in various contexts. It begins in the "sixties years" of the last century (from the point of view of the reform tradition) with a book by Max Thurian (a brother of Taizé community), called "Mary, Mother of God". It continues with a book published twenty years later by two female Brazilian theologians, Ivone Gebara and Maria Clara Bingemer, which is called "Mary, Mother of God, Mother of the Poor", written from the perspective of the poor and women of Latin America. The selection is brought to an end with a contemporary work from a francophone ecumenical group Le Groupe des Dombes, called "Mary in the plan of God and in the Communion of Saints", in which they propose feasible approaches towards the conversion of churches in disputed questions relating to Mary.
