Dormition?

The Assumption of Mary is now defined Church teaching. It began about fifteen centuries ago as an answer to questions about what happened to the Mother of God after her death, which was presumed to have happened. Slowly, over many centuries, a further question has arisen, whether she died at all. In this his latest work, Paul Flynn makes the case that she was taken up to heaven without dying. The evidence for this, both from Scripture and from the development of Church teaching, is surprisingly convincing.Paul Flynn’s other works include ‘Under the Apple Tree, A Life of Mary, ’ and ‘ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, A Short Handbook.
