Stephen Shoemaker is studying the veneration of the Virgin Mary in early Christianity by focusing on a number of frequently overlooked sources, including apocrypha and early liturgical texts especially. These texts reveal evidence of belief in Mary’s intercession and her cultic veneration already in the third and fourth centuries.
