For most of the Protestant world, Mary, the mother of Jesus, remains an enigma.
Who is this woman of whom the Scriptures tell us little? Is she the model of
the ideal disciple of Christ, or simply a vessel from which the Savior took
His humanity? For the Catholic, there is no equivocation: She is the Mother
of God, the Queen of Heaven - the Divine Mediatrix. What is the correct view,
and how are we to approach this most intriguing New Testament figure?
In this exhaustively thorough book, scholar Eric D. Svendesen combs the depths
of this question. His findings will enlighten, surprise - or even anger you!
One thing is for sure, you will never be able to read the interaction between
Jesus and Mary again without, in some way, drawing from the studies in this
book. Pastors, teachers and advanced students of the Word will find it required
reading. An instant classic, Who is My Mother? will be referenced and discussed
again and again in years to come. |
