Pelikan lovingly tracks successive Marian personae, such as Second Eve, Paragon of Chastity, Queen of Heaven and Blessed Mother, through to the present. He is fascinated with what the Victorian-era Cardinal and theologian John Henry Newman called the "development of doctrine"--the process, infuriating to traditional Protestants, whereby Catholic Popes and bishops continued promulgating articles of Christian faith long after the last biblical word was written. Mary is a prime example: her scant treatment in the Gospels left a vacuum that the church, often preceded and probably influenced by popular belief, has been gradually filling over the centuries...
...black riding crop. "Good news, children!" she announces in a voice that lets you know she's had her usual breakfast of boiled bunnies and Dalmatian pups. "Thanks to the upsurge of consumer confidence this Christmas season, I'm able to offer you unlimited forced overtime right through Christmas Eve!

...merchandising that's highly unusual," says Brad Globe, head of consumer products for Amblin/Dreamworks. "It's a testament to how big movie licensing has become." Other contenders this December include--perhaps inevitably--two films about toys: 20th Century Fox's Jingle All the Way, which tells the Christmas Eve story of a father who can't find a TV-based action figure for his son, and Disney's Toy Story, which is being given an especially big push to coincide with its video release because Disney--this may surprise anyone who's visited a Disney store in the past year...
