Title: Interesting Reading
Product review: "The Banned Book of Mary, How her story was suppressed by the church and hidden in art for centuries" was interesting but it seemed curious to me that it focuses on the banning of the book by the church. Most of the Catholics that I know are already familiar with the story and if the knowledge of the book was banned why did the chuch tolerate so much art about it? Why didn't the church have the art destroyed and condemned as heretical?Hock's book was interesting in that I was not overly familiar with this story of Mary. I did hear it alluded to in a Christmas pagent but didn't know it's sources. It information was interesting but I can see why it was not added to the cannon of scripture. On the other hand I do not think it should be banned either, but is interesting legend and reading.This book is good for anyone who is interested early church history and early manuscripts by early Christians. -- Valerie Lull, Author, Ten Healthy Teas
