Mariology is an often overlooked portion of Christian theology: the study of the doctrine of Mary, Mother of Jesus. In Protestant circles there can be some hesitancy to even engage with this doctrine, which can make for difficult conversations with Catholic friends. This episode breaks down some of the basics of Mariology, where they are found in the Bible, and what Luther actually believed about her.   Hail Mary in the Bible: https://dioceseofbrooklyn.org/defending-your-faith/where-is-the-hail-mary-in-the-bible/ Martin Luther and the Queen of Heaven: https://lutheranreformation.org/theology/luthers-love-st-mary-queen-heaven/ What Catholics Really Believe by Ignatius Press   Problems with Biblical Mariology: https://ecommons.udayton.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2511&context=marian_studies
