	Marian Maximalism SKU aib-mm074 Price: $10.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION With careful and thorough documentation and reasoning, Jonathan Fleischmann aptly shows that it is indeed true that “we can never say enough” of the Blessed Virgin Mary and that, in staying close to her, we are also protected from error and heresy. Jonathan Fleischmann uses both a priori and a posteriori arguments, in accord with the thought of Blessed John Duns Scotus, to show that it is no mere poetic expression but a sober truth that we can never praise highly enough the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the course of the book, he provides a rich selection from the writings of canonized saints from every period of the life of the Church to illustrate their witness to the truth that one cannot praise highly enough the Immaculate Virgin. It is my hope and prayer that, through the study of Marian Maximalism, the Blessed Virgin Mary will draw you ever closer to her Heart, totally one with the Heart of Jesus, and, therefore, ever closer to the Heart of her Divine Son, Jesus Christ. May Marian Maximalism inspire its readers to an ever greater Marian devotion, and through devoted love of Mary, to an ever deeper knowledge of her Divine Son, to worship of Him alone “in spirit and in truth” (Jn 4:23–4), and to serving Him with an undivided heart. – Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke

She also analyzes the theological arguments for and against the dogmatic definition.

	Life of Union with Mary SKU aib-lum066 Price: $8.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION In several of my books I had occasion to touch upon life of union with Mary . . .

He considers every spiritual exercise from this special angle and exemplifies his directions by quotations from many religious and laymen – including Saints – who have achieved union with Mary.

	Mary's Apostolic Mission and Ours SKU AIB-MAM041 Price: $7.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION A book which peruse the truth of Mary's unique role in apostolic mission. This sheds light on the apostolic mission of every baptized Christian. Did Mary also receive an apostolic mission? Tradition supposes so. God wished to make of her the “New Eve,” the Associate of Christ. We would, therefore, also expect her to participate in His apostolic mission. Is this mission identical to that of the other apostles or to that of her Son? It is identical to neither. But, as we shall see, though her mission is a participated one, it is, for many reasons, more similar to that of Jesus than to that of the other apostles.The mission conferred by Christ on His apostles includes, in addition to administering Baptism, the double objective of preaching the doctrine of salvation: “Go, teach all nations,” and practicing the Christian life, “teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you!” Mary’s apostolic mission embraces both Christian doctrine and Christian living.

	Bl. John Duns Scotus and His Mariology SKU AIB-DSM044 Price: $20.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION This book is the proceedings from the Acts of the Symposium on Scotus’ Mariology held at Grey College, Durham, England, in the Church of Our Lady and St. Margaret, Duns, Scotland from September 9–11, 2008. The hope of this Symposium is to set in relief the importance of the mystery of Mary in understanding the thought of Bl. John Duns Scotus, a mystery so much neglected by many students of Scotus, today as in yesteryear. Without that profound veneration of the Immaculate Virgin and an appreciation of her uniqueness as the Immaculate Conception, the theology and metaphysics of Scotus will remain merely the abstruse delight of an elite academy, and Mariology will be lacking its securest instrument of reflection.
	Mariology of Blessed John Duns Scotus SKU AIB-MDS033 Price: $18.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION This book provides a complete, well-balanced exposition of Scotus on Our Lady, with all the many inter-connections between the mystery of Mary and the whole of theology. Fr. Rosini has, perhaps for the first time, provided a complete, well-balanced exposition of Scotus on Our Lady, with all the many inter-connections between the mystery of Mary and the whole of theology, illustrating plainly how the subtle resolution of the most complex of theological questions was not something achieved prior to any consideration of Mary, but exactly to the contrary: by meditating “in the spirit of prayer and devotion” (St. Francis of Assisi) on the Blessed and Immaculate Virgin in the mystery of Christ and the Church (Lumen Gentium, ch. 8, title).
	Venerable Mother Agreda and the Mariology of Vatican II Price: $5.00 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION This book, according to the thoughts of Venerable Agreda, refutes the claim that the classical approach to Mariology by the saints has been superseded by the conciliar biblical-historical" approach. The book "Venerable Mother Agreda and the Mariology of Vatican II" replies to the objections that Mother Agreda pushes an outdated Mariology. It shows that the genuine teaching of the Second Vatican Council, far from being different from Mother Agreda and her work, the Mystical City of God, is profoundly and expressly anticipated by this jewel of Spanish and Franciscan Mariology. Being profoundly Franciscan in her mariology, this book reaffirms the value and the defense of the entire school of Franciscan Mariology which is characteristically metaphysical, against those who oppose the figures of St. Maximilian, Padre Pio and St. Bernardine of Siena and others The book refutes the claim that the classical approach to Mariology by these saints has been superseded by the conciliar biblical-historical" approach.
	Virgo Ecclesia Facta - The Virgin Made Church SKU AIB-VEF010 Price: $12.50 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION The Presence of Mary in the Crucifix of San Damiano and in the Office of the Passion of St. Francis of Assisi.

	The Newman-Scotus Reader: Contexts and Commonalities SKU aib-nsr069 Price: $34.95 ORDER HERE - ORDER INFORMATION This book is on the similarity of thought held by Newman and Scotus in Philosophy. Drawing from the inaugural Newman-Scotus Symposium, this edited volume presents principles that converge with striking similarities in the thought patterns of Bl. John Duns Scotus and Bl. John Henry Newman. With contributions from prominent philosophers and theologians, this book argues in detail that Newman was overall sympathetic to many of the major themes characteristic of Scotus’ metaphysics, and furthermore would be cautious about simply substituting historical dimensions and new hermeneutics for a sound metaphysical approach. The more metaphysical approach of Scotus uncovers the implicit notional foundations of Newman’s thought, while the more phenomenological style of Newman assists the reader in grasping the realism and profound spirituality lying behind the more abstract presentation of Scotus. Topics range from the Franciscan-Scotistic motive of the Incarnation, the Scotistic position of sacramental theology, to intuition and certitude, scientific form and real assent, uncoupling Scotus from Kant, the will as the power to self-determine as the essential characteristic of the will, with love as its object, and its relationship to the intellect as moved by its object, the truth, and more.
