John Duns Scotus

The Subtle Doctor, as Scotus is called, presents a model of Mary the mother of Jesus as the fullest image of the living person. She is the fullest humanity of all human beings, man or woman. Allan B. Wolter, OFM is one of the foremost authorities on and translators of Scotus' writings. He, together with Blane O'Neill, OFM, clearly lay out in this book Scotus's argument for "preventive redemption" whereby the Immaculate Conception of Mary represents the masterwork of Christ's redemption.
