Although it covers only the period from 1981 to 2002, \u003cem\u003eMedjugorje: The First Twenty-One Years\u003c\/em\u003e brings together and offers incisive observations on material that other treatments summarize rapidly or even omit altogether. It must be remembered that Michael's Croatian wife, Maria, was in a unique position to assist Michael with access to an abundance of information in her native language that would have been, and often still is, a closed book to researchers from other countries. In its provision of original sources and with its judicious observations, \u003cem\u003eMedjugorje: The First Twenty-One Years \u003c\/em\u003eadds richness to the existing literature concerning the purported apparitions. Davies sees the connection of Medjugorje with a variety of controversial issues in the Church today: the relationship of authority and obedience, the nature of the charismatic movement, the dangers of chasing after private revelations, the scandal of clerical immorality, and the lure of false ecumenism.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arouca Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781990685392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Michael Davies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42769891066037,"sku":"9781990685392","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a51c79ce-7458-4f8c-9782-e851ef66b714.jpg?v=1678840047","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/medjugorje-the-first-twenty-one-years-1981-2002-a-source-based-contribution-to-the-definitive-history-9781990685392","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
