“All generations shall call me blessed” (Luke 1:48). No prophecy has been so marvelously fulfilled as these words of Our Lady. From Scripture to the present day, the blessings that have come to Mary—and through Mary to the Church—cannot be counted.
In the Story of Mary, Phillip Campbell—acclaimed author of the Story of Civilization series—offers Catholic high school and Classical students a comprehensive introduction to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Blending Scripture, history, theology, devotion, and apologetics, this text immerses students in the Church’s Marian piety while also deepening their understanding of Mary’s central place in salvation history.
Students will:
- Trace the symbols and prophecies of Mary in the Old Testament.
- Encounter Mary’s life through the lens of Sacred Scripture.
- Explore the Church’s rich treasury of titles and devotions, including the Rosary, Brown Scapular, and Miraculous Medal.
- Learn from saints who modeled profound Marian devotion.
- Study the great Marian apparitions of Guadalupe, Lourdes, and Fatima.
- Examine apologetics that defend authentic Marian teaching.
With Campbell’s engaging narrative style, the story of Mary becomes both a historical study and a living encounter—awakening students to the beauty of Marian devotion, the wisdom of the Church, and the call to discipleship.
