In Quest of the Jewish Mary

AUTHOR Mary Christine Athans

Much recent theological study has focused on the Jewish cultural and religious context of Jesus' life and ministry. It is only natural that this attention should lead us to rediscover his Jewish mother, Mary of Nazareth, a woman of enormous courage, strength and prayer. 

"In Quest of the Jewish Mary: The Mother of Jesus in history, theology and spirituality is beautifully written, and opens up new windows of imagination. Inviting the reader to pray to God with the Jewish Mary is an inspired move that engages the reader's heart as well as the mind."
