Maunder Chris - Mary Founder Of Christianity - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Who was Mary? A radical rediscovery of the historical mother of Jesus A radical reassessment of the role of Mary the mother of Jesus and other women in the early Church Despite the commonly held assumption that the Bible says little about the mother of Jesus there are many indications that Mary preceded and inspired her son in fostering the emergence of a new faith community. In the Gospel of John Mary instigates Jesus first miracle and in all four gospels she is present at the crucifixion suggesting hers was a place of unparalleled importance in the Christian story. Setting aside presuppositions based on doctrine Chris Maunder returns to the New Testament to answer the question Who was Mary? He re - examines the virgin conception of Jesus Mary's contribution to Jesus ministry and her central role in the events of the crucifixion and the resurrection. In so doing Maunder casts a thought - provoking new light on Mary and the women including Mary Magdalene who stood alongside her.
