But, although Mary has without question one of the most wonderful stories, she can often be ignored &#8211; to be remembered only once a year at Christmas. This Pocket Guide title looks at the life and character of Mary &#8211; and her unique significance in the gospel story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h1>About Leonardo De Chirico<\/h1>\n<div>\n<p>Leonardo De Chirico has been involved in a church planting project in Rome and is now pastor of the church Breccia di Roma (www.brecciadiroma.it). He is lecturer of Historical Theology at Istituto di Formazione Evangelica e Documentazione (www.ifeditalia.org) and vice-chairman of the Italian Evangelical Alliance (www.alleanzaevangelica.org).<\/p>\n<h1>Reviews<\/h1>\n<p>Leonardo De Chirico, one of the leading evangelical thinkers on Roman Catholicism, including its post-Vatican II phase, knows all the ins and outs of the history and theology of Catholicism, from years of study and first-hand experience in Padua and Rome. Against the temptation to think Mariology is just a side-show in Catholicism, he shows how it fits hand in glove with the Roman Church&#8217;s doctrine of grace.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianfocus.com\/contributor\/show\/395\/-\">Paul Wells<\/a>, Emeritus Professor, Facult\u00e9 Jean Calvin, France, Editor in Chief of Unio cum Christo<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is the book I have been searching for! De Chirico&#8217;s A Christian&#8217;s Pocket Guide to Mary is unique in clearly and succinctly bringing together in one place Mary in the Scriptures and Mary in the history of Christian thought and practice, right up to the present day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianfocus.com\/contributor\/show\/1817\/-\">Rachel Ciano<\/a>, Lecturer in Church History at Sydney Missionary and Bible College; church-planter in a multicultural, urban area of Sydney.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Never before have I read a more masterfully written book on the subject. Leonardo De Chirico marries scholarship with an easily readable style that makes the book extremely useful both for personal and group studies. It is a concise and well researched masterpiece from one of the world&#8217;s leading experts on Roman Catholicism and recommendable both to Catholics and Protestants who want to understand one of the most misunderstood and controversial issues in Church History.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianfocus.com\/contributor\/show\/1816\/-\">Jos\u00e9 Hutter<\/a>, Chairman of the Theological Commission of the Spanish Evangelical Alliance<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Leonardo De Chirico is one of my most trusted authorities on Roman Catholic doctrine. He has gained my confidence because he is always equally charitable, winsome, and well-informed. In this short book he demonstrates what the Roman Catholic Church teaches about Mary and aptly proves why so much of it is opposed to the plain teaching of the Bible. I heartily commend it to you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianfocus.com\/contributor\/show\/620\/-\">Tim Challies<\/a>, Blogger at www.challies.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/dot.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Email\",\"Print\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"New%20book%20on%20Mary%21\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 20th, 2017 I am pleased to announce the publication of my new book.
