Review in New Directions, January 2008
"This collection of lectures and sermons outlines why Mary and her
song are so fundamental to the Christian faith and how its message
should be read in the current climate of church politics and world
injustice... Mary's song is a 'summons to hope', and this book
enables its readers, and the church, to identify this hope and
engage with it, and the message of the Magnificat." - Antony
