Catholics and Protestants have held markedly different views about the Virgin Mary. This work examines the development of Lutheran views on this subject as expressed in 16th century Lutheran published sermons. It shows that from the beginning Lutherans rejected much of the theology and piety that surrounded Mary in Catholicism.
