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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Davies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1990685404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781990685408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arouca Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Michael Davies","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133017813247,"sku":"9781990685408","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01d1ab8f-45ce-47ce-af5e-52ecbbae6fd8.jpg?v=1687483609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medjugorje-michael-davies-9781990685408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
