Description

Jesus, as is well known, used to be born and raised as a Jew in first-century Palestine. A substantial amount of theological study has focused at the Jewish cultural and spiritual context of his life and ministry. It’s only natural that this attention will have to lead us to a new approach to his mother, Mary of Nazareth. To some degree, this quest for the Jewish Mary involves excavating beneath centuries of devotional reflection and artistic depictions that have presented a mythologized Mary, detached from history and from her specific Jewish identity. On this book, Mary Christine Athans draws at the contemporary historical research, the fruits of post-Vatican II Jewish-Christian dialogue, the insights of feminist theology, and up to date spiritual reflection to rediscover the Jewish Mary a woman of enormous courage, strength, and prayer. In restoring Mary to her own time and place, she helps us rediscover Mary s message for our own time.
