Grace is Not Faceless traces the trajectories of Ann Loades' distinctive contribution to Anglican Marian theology-for example, her emphasis on Mary in art, her attention to the iconology of the Rabullah Gospels, and the key she finds to approaching the mother of Jesus in Cornelius Ernst, OP's turn of phrase, "grace is not faceless." The book also adds new material by Ann herself, as well as responses to her Marian work. Introductory material further helps make accessible this important Anglican theologian's Marian theology for the wide audience it deserves.

Industry Reviews

'Heirs of the reformation have long reminded us, correctly, that Jesus Christ alone, risen and exalted, mediates between God and humankind. Heirs of the counter-reformation have long reminded us, correctly, that Mary's role as theotokos means that Jesus' humanity, risen and exalted, is uniquely her humanity, and her role in the economy of God's salvation thereby unique. One grace of the present age is that these heirs are finally starting to talk to each other rather than past each other. Ann Loades's Grace is not Faceless is a beautiful example of the new conversation, particularly enriched by the insights of Christian feminism. From an Anglican standpoint Loades points us to a Mary who is not only trusting and obedient, but also responds to God with heroic qualities of delight, courage and generosity, manifesting a grace that Christian tradition promises is for all-and hence, as Loades puts it, a Mary who is "for everyone.' -- Christopher Bryan, Emeritus C. K. Benedict Professor of New Testament at the University of the South, Sewanee
