Why it matters
The One on the throne makes all things new. Pitre ends chapter 2 here (p 41): Mary, the New Eve, is the beginning of the new creation, the supreme example of what God's grace can do in a mere human creature, and the promise that in the resurrection we too will be completely free from sin.
